Parachute (LEAPFEST)
Block Paragraph: 

LEAPFEST is the Largest, Longest-Running International Military Static Line Parachute Competition in the World. The competition is routinely attended by representatives from Allied Foreign Militaries, as well as from the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Each team exits from a CH-47 Chinook helicopter at an altitude of 1500 feet (457 meters) using an MC-6 static line, steerable, parabolic parachute. Participants aim to land as close as possible to a marked, designated area within the landing zone. Upon landing and completing a PLF (parachute landing fall), participants are timed by qualified judges until they reach the designated area. This is both an individual and team event.
