Flying Tigers over Miami Beach: Army Reserve’s daring display at Hyundai Air & Sea Show
A Soldier from the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and his team form a perimeter before advancing toward the shore during a public demonstration at the Hyundai Air & Sea Show in Miami Beach, Florida, May 25, 2025. Minutes earlier, the team had jumped out of two UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters crewed by U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from the 8-229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, then boarded awaiting Zodiak boats to assault the beach. This collaboration between Army Reserve aviation units and active-duty special operations forces demonstrate the seamless integration and coordination between two distinct components within the Army.
