MINDEN, Nev. — U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights Sgt. 1st Class Ben Hall, Staff Sgt. Adrian Lara and Sgt. 1st Class Branden Hexum execute a tri-by-side canopy formation during a practice jump at Minden-Tahoe Airport in Minden, Nevada, Oct. 16, 2026. The advanced canopy relative work maneuver requires three parachutists to fly their canopies in a connected, side-by-side formation, coordinating precise movements, speed and direction while operating as a single unit. The rehearsal demonstrates the team's technical proficiency, discipline and coordination in preparation for its aerial demonstration. Video by: U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Luke Olk
