Why We Fly

Behind every flight is a story bigger than the sport.

Generations of the Children of Fallen Heroes family gathered together at iFLY Phoenix in Arizona.

Story 01

The Next Generation Carries the Legacy Forward

In Scottsdale, generations of the CFH family came together to honor Detective Ryan So—a Navy veteran, police officer, husband and father of three daughters—and show what it means for the next generation to carry a legacy forward.

Young participants in indoor skydiving flight suits stand along a railing, looking upward as they wait for their turn in the wind tunnel.

Story 02

That’s a Great Question

Veterans joined children in a STEM classroom and turned curiosity into something worth celebrating—before everyone stepped into the wind.

Beyond the Tunnel: Youth STEAM Classes

Indoor skydiving is aerodynamics and physics in motion. Children of Fallen Heroes provides hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math) classes for youth—teaching air velocity, terminal velocity, and flight dynamics alongside mentorship for military, first responder, and foster youth families.

CFH Honor Network

Who Will You Honor?

Across the country, people step into an aircraft carrying a story with them.

The CFH Honor Network connects people who want to make a skydive — or an indoor flight — in honor or memory of someone with participating drop zones and wind tunnels across America.

No fee. No commission. No required discount. Jumpers and flyers contact, book and pay the drop zone or wind tunnel directly.

Honor Jump · Outdoor Skydiving

Honor Jump

Find a participating drop zone. Choose who you’re jumping for. Book directly with the drop zone at their normal rates, make the jump, and tell the story.

Honor Flight · Indoor Skydiving

Honor Flight

Not everyone can, or wants to, jump from an airplane. Honor Flight connects people with participating indoor skydiving wind tunnels — so a child can fly for Dad, a Gold Star family can fly for someone they lost, and a first responder family can do it together, subject to each tunnel’s own requirements.

Find a Wind Tunnel → Add Your Wind Tunnel →

The CFH Parachute Team is Children of Fallen Heroes’ established skydiving program. Children of Fallen Heroes does not sell skydives, take reservations, collect money, or operate, supervise, certify or insure any drop zone or wind tunnel.

Fueling Team USA to Nationals & Worlds

Help us fund registration fees, wind tunnel training hours, flight gear, and travel for our athletes. 100% of your contribution goes directly to the program via Zeffy with zero processing fees.
