This is the dramatic moment members of the US Army Parachute Team flew the American flag over Chicago.

Staff Sergeant Jonathan Schmertzler and Sergeant Brandon Hexum performed a precision skydiving display on August 16 as part of the Chicago Air and Water Show.

The event featured the soldiers descending with the American flag above the city's skyline, drawing cheers from spectators gathered for the annual celebration.

Footage captured from one jumper's point of view shows Chicago sprawling below as the pair carried out their coordinated descent.

The demonstration was one of several aerial performances featured in the popular public event.
