Who We Are
Phantom Airborne Brigade, Inc. (PAB) is a member-owned “Non-Profit” Florida based company. We have IRS 501(c)(3) status as a recognized charitable organization. As such, all donations (cash or kind) to PAB are/can be considered as USA Tax deductible. We have NO paid employees, everything achieved has been done by members volunteering their time and funds. EVERY cent we have goes to supporting the original intent of the PAB Mission and for the betterment of the Airborne Brotherhood, by allowing continued involvement with the Airborne community before, during, and after Service to their country.
Here at Phantom Airborne Brigade Inc, we are committed to investing our expertise and resources to further achieve our cause. Since 1996 as a Brigade, and 1980 as a Battalion, we have been supporting our Airborne community members in a variety of ways and measuring our success not by monetary size, but by more qualitative measurements such as the scale and effectiveness of our efforts. Just imagine what we can achieve together!
What We Do
- Formed around 1980 as Phantom Airborne Battalion (and upsized to Brigade when Generals started jumping in1997) by Military Trained Airborne Qualified personnel (of all ranks), with the aim of providing a platform for Active Duty, Retired, and or Veteran Paratroopers, to continue jumping in the manner they were used to while serving. The PAB has completed, without equipment malfunction, over 20,000 descents, more than any other single civilian round canopy group. Further the group is open to any member of the Military Trained Airborne brotherhood worldwide.
- PAB provides a safe and secure environment for these unique, warriors to openly discuss Airborne lives and experiences with like-minded persons; these warriors are your worst enemy or your best and most reliable friend. To the non-airborne, civilian or soldier, they may seem weird or odd (especially when greeting each other), however, the Airborne Spirit is unique and is shared by every airborne soldier (parachute) worldwide.
- If you are a military trained airborne paratrooper, from any nation, come down to the DZ and mix with like-minded individuals. I guarantee you will be hooked, and welcomed back by people you understand and trust.
