25th. Parachutist Poetie Doerga who has been absent from public events for several years is scheduled to make a comeback this year. He started jumping with his team at the annual event in 2010 and will give his 10th performance this year. From 2010 until 2019 Doerga was the face of the parachuting show. After 2019 others took over but this year he will make a comeback.

“On November 25th 12 people will jump from a height of about 10,000 feet. That is about 3 kilometers in height,” said Doerga who added that the crowd will not be disappointed. Doerga added that he will add an extra shine to this year’s celebration of Independence or Srefidensi. He added that his team has a special surprise in store for the people. Doerga did not reveal any details but added that a famous skydiver will also join his team this year. “I want to invite the people to come watch this spectacle because you do not see this every day.”
