During the Columbus Air Show, Sgt. Sloan Kanat of the U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights, shared a unique jump with her mother, Kim Kanat of the Misty Blues All-Women Skydiving Team, during a baton pass demonstration from the team's DeHavilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou (DASH) aircraft.
The jump marked a rare opportunity for mother and daughter to take part in the same aerial demonstration, combining a shared passion for skydiving with years of experience in the sport. As they exited the aircraft together and completed the baton pass, the moment served as a testament to the family ties and traditions that connect generations of parachutists.
For both Sloan and Kim, the experience was more than just another jump—it was a chance to share a once-in-a-lifetime moment in the sky above Columbus.
