INTERNATIONAL AIRBORNE OPERATIONS stands for the organisation and implementation of international Airborne operations and Special Forces training world-wide.

Priority is set on operations including military parachuting by automatically opening or freefall (HALO/ HAHO). On top we offer - pending on the circumstances on place and the participant's qualification- diving, shooting, tank-driving and more military training.

Olaf Krah Dear fellow Paratrooper,

It is with deep regret that we must confirm that during our Operation Eagle 2009 last weekend our beloved fellow Paratrooper SFC (Reserve) Olaf Krah passed away as a result of a tragic jump accident.
An emergency medical doctor was immediately called in but he could only pronounce the death of our fellow. Soon after a guard of honour was posted and appropriate military honours were paid while he was taken off the DZ.
SFC (Reserve) Olaf Krah was a man of friendliness and made many friends within the group of more then 50 jumpers from 13 nations within short time. He soon managed to inspire and motivate all of us and a result he was held in high regard by his comrades.
Olav died doing what he loved, surrounded by us all who looked up to him. May his soul rest in peace. We will sorely miss him and his great comradeship, which will serve as a fine example to all of us!

We are in a close contact Olaf’s family to whom we extend our deepest sympathy and condolences. Besides the shock and the deep sorrow the family has already been driven into severe financial problems. INTERNATIONAL AIRBORNE OPERATIONS has already refunded the costs of the operation and donated a sum to the account of Olaf’s brother. If you wish to join us please inform us by email and we will send to you the bank details.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family, friends and comrades at this terrible time.

With kindest regards,

INTERNATIONAL AIRBORNE OPERATIONS

Yours Stefan Eicker
