Get Ready, Beale!

The 418th Flight Test Squadron's elite test parachutists, the Air Force’s only unit of its kind, are coming to Beale for an unforgettable event! These highly trained USAF SERE (Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape) Specialists are among the most elite survival experts in the U.S. military, performing over 150 jumps per year to test and evaluate cutting-edge Department of Defense parachute systems.

Joining them for this thrilling display is special guest Cory Christiansen, professional skydiver, retried Green Beret, and veteran of high-stakes missions around the globe!

In a powerful tribute to the Legacy of Reconnaissance, watch SERE Specialists leap from the skies above Beale wearing U-2 pressure suits, the very same high-altitude gear worn by our legendary U-2 pilots!

And don’t miss the awe-inspiring opening ceremony, where Cory Christiansen and the SERE jumpers will soar overhead, proudly unfurling our American Flag!
