Black Daggers

Members of the Black Daggers, the official U.S. Army Special Operations Command Parachute Demonstration Team, are highly trained Soldiers who insert themselves behind enemy lines to disrupt the movement of enemy troops and supplies to the front lines.

They kicked off the airshow by jumping with the American flag during the national anthem, and another jump that demonstrated their battle techniques.
