"On Time, On Target"
The Arizona
Skyhawks demonstration parachute team, based
out of Phoenix, formed in 1997.
The Skyhawks have performed at
international events that include professional
sporting events, business grand openings, rodeos,
festivals, and charity events.
All the members of the team are
professionally rated by the United States Parachute
Association. This PRO
rating is awarded by the U.S.P.A. only to skydivers
who can master the most difficult aspects of the
sport. The Skyhawks are all skydiving instructors
who also compete and work in the skydiving industry.
The team captain, Tom
Talbott, is a native of Arizona and former
officer of the Green Beret Parachute Team in
Ft. Bragg, NC. He has logged over
10,000 skydives. Tom has been in the skydiving
industry for over 18 years and has owned and
operated two drop zones, including one in the
Bahamas. The other members of the team are all
former military soldiers serving in a variety
of airborne and special operation assignments.
They each hold several skydiving instructional
ratings and the difficult to achieve PRO rating.

Our Skydiving team will perform for every home
game. We are the only skydiving team that has this
honor and responsibility, and we will continue
to perform as a traditional event to all the home
games this year and in the future.
