Airborne Systems: 100 Year Celebration

[June 18, 2019] 100 years ago, Leslie Irvin took a leap of faith, making the first intentional freefall jump in history on April 19, 1919. Two months later, on June 18, 1919, he officially formed the Irvin Air Chute Company, known today as Airborne Systems. Leslie Irvin created the most successful parachute company in the world.

We are proud to celebrate 100 years as the number one parachute company in the world on June 18th, 2019. Not only is this a major milestone for Airborne Systems, but also for the skydiving and aerospace industries. Happy 100th anniversary, Airborne!
