AAB Ruptured Duck Jump 1 C47 Placid Lassie 

This is my first jump for Operation Ruptured Duck 2023. This was our refresher and practice jump before the main event on Saturday.
We hosted the event in Culpepper VA at the Old House Vineyards and christened a new drop zone named Ruptured Duck Drop zone. This name is to honor the aircraft and personnel who were part of the Doolittle Raid in Japan in WW2 and the B25 Ruptured Duck aircraft that crashed off the coast of China. Later the Ruptured Duck became a symbol and lapel pin to show and identify those who served and were honorably discharged during WW2.
This is also the first official operation by our newly formed All Airborne Battalion jump team who aims to honor all veterans who have served around the world.
