There's another at Fort Benning, Georgia - somewhat modified. The last time I checked it was still being used as a component of the airborne qualification course. I can testify that being hauled to the top in a parachute harness and dropped free (no safety cables of any sort) is a heart pounding experience!

In my youth (so very long ago)
I rode this parachute jump
It hasn't been in operation
for several decades but is
well maintained & painted as
well as nicely illuminated
It is landmarked as a symbol
of the historic Coney Island
