Tomorrow, on Thursday September 11th, members of Team Fastrax will be commemorating the 7 years that have passed since September 11th attacks with a very special jump. Members of the team have worked extensively with the FAA, TSA, Homeland Security, The National Park Service and the City of New York to allow jumpers to drop seven American flags simultaneously over ground zero. This will take place approximately at 10:30 EST (New York time), the time when Twin Tower two fell.
The team views this jump as a very special honor and a way to say thank you to the members of all the fire fighters, law enforcement, and military personnel, who have served to protect the freedom that we all enjoy.
Below is the list of jumpers and sized flags they will be jumping during this special event.
