(Video above: Silver Wings Parachute Team descends into Jordan-Hare Stadium)

Prior to Auburn’s game against Clemson on Saturday, the Silver Wings Parachute Team took to the skies above Jordan-Hare Stadium for an impressive display of aerial accuracy.

The team is based at Ft. Benning’s U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence.

“Formed in 1965 by the director of the Airborne Department, the team can trace its origins back to 1958 and members of the Airborne-Ar Mobility Command,” says SilverWingsDemoTeam.com. “The mission of the Silver Wings is to represent the Maneuver of Excellence Center (MCoE), 1/507 PIR Airborne School, the US Army, while demonstrating the freefall and canopy accuracy capabilities of today’s airborne forces.”

Every member of the four-man team landed on the 50-yard-line just before the game began, including the team leader who did it with a giant American flag in tow and a GoPro camera strapped to his body, providing the first-person view seen in the video above.
