Patrick Fortune, a military veteran and local, put on a demonstration skydive on Nov. 11 at Skydive City in Zephyrhills. Fortune added on to what he did last year, jumping with eight flags, 73 feet in length — U.S. flag, Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, and POW/MIA flags. Patrick dedicated one of his jumps to a close military friend who recently committed suicide, to honor him, his family, and friends. Patrick began skydiving in 1998, and now has over 3,700 jumps to his name.
