SEWARD, Neb. (AP) — A new exhibit at a museum in Seward highlights the role of paratroopers in the National Guard.

The Nebraska National Guard Museum formally unveiled its “Airborne!” exhibit Tuesday to celebrate National Airborne Day.

Mounted high on the wall, the exhibit includes a 30-by-10-foot replica of one soldier already plummeting, another waiting to jump and a foam model of a C-130 Hercules.

Museum historian Jerry Meyer says the model aircraft highly resembles an actual plane, but weighs a lot less.

It cost about $20,000 to create the exhibit.

The museum opened in the former armory on the edge of downtown Seward last year. The building was most recently used to pack parachutes for the Nebraska National Guard.
