West Fargo, ND – It was a dream come true for an area Hendrum man, as on Sunday morning Zach Kraft was the third recipient of the Donald J. Solberg North Dakota Legacy Skydiving Foundation jump. After applying in April to be the foundation’s recipient, and being chosen in May Kraft’s jump took place just after 10:30 am Sunday from the Skydive Fargo hangar at the West Fargo Municipal Airport. 

Meagan Solberg, who founded the organization in honor of her father, talks about the selection process and why Zach was chosen as the third recipient.

Kraft talked about his experience jumping out of the plane, and if he’d ever do it again.
