The Pinehurst, N.C. based Children of Fallen Heroes (CFH) Parachute Team has been honored with the prestigious Pinnacle Platinum Performers award by the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS).
The CFH Parachute Team is known primarily for their Honoring Heroes Tour which can be booked to transform every event into a family-friendly celebration, be it a golf outing, festival, concert, or special occasion.
Receiving the award in late 2023, the CFH Parachute Team features National and World Champions, Guinness World Records holders, International Skydiving Museum Hall of Fame inductees, Aviation Hall of Fame members and even a NASA Space Shuttle Pilot in their membership.
The CFH team members shared their thanks in a press release stating in part:
“This recognition is not just an accolade for our team; it's a celebration of the entire airshow industry and a tribute to those who have paved the way for excellence.
In the spirit of humility and respect, we extend our gratitude to all the performers, organizers and volunteers who form the backbone of the airshow world. Your dedication has made our community a tight-knit family and we are truly blessed to be a part of it.
At Children of Fallen Heroes, we believe in inspiring the future and this award is dedicated to everyone who has supported us in our mission. From seasoned performers to enthusiastic volunteers, you've been the wind beneath our wings.”

Today, the International Council of Air Shows is dedicated to building and sustaining a vibrant air show industry to support its membership. To achieve this goal, ICAS demands that its members operate their business at only the highest levels of safety, professionalism and integrity.
