The Aurora U.S. Army Recruiting Station brought one of Eagle Country 99.3's personalities along for the thrill of a lifetime.

(Ottawa, Ill.) – Eagle’s are known for flying high, but jumping out of planes from 13,500 feet? That’s just crazy.

Eagle Country 99.3’s Lori Enright had the unique opportunity to go skydiving with the U.S. Army Golden Knights in Ottawa, Illinois on Wednesday, August 22.

“It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done!” she said after a flawless landing with her tandem partner.

Thanks to SFC Andrew Lima and SFC Anthony Alexander from the Aurora, Indiana U.S. Army Recruiting Station for inviting Lori and Eagle Country 99.3 to join the Golden Knights!
