34 Foot Tower

The US Army Airborne School (1st Battalion, 507th Infantry Regiment) trains students in military parachuting at this and other locations. The 250-foot jump towers have been in mostly continuous use since their construction in 1941 and ‘42. Four were originally built, but one was destroyed in 1954 by a tornado. The field is named in honor of WWII Medal of Honor recipient, SGT Ray E. Eubanks.
