betzilla 56 #27 November 21, 2003 What a great story! Thanks for sharing that with us. I'll use that story as encouragement next time my 71 year old mom says she's too old to jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 36 #28 November 21, 2003 Betsy, Before you started we had a 70 year old woman come out to make a static line. I was the only JM who wanted to take her up. She'd always wanted to jump out of a plane and so decided for her 70th birthday she was going to. Had the kids, grandkids, South Bend TV, etc out. This 70 year old looked about 50, in tight blue jeans and boots. We spent a little extra time talking things over. What she worried most about was hanging on (hanging exit from a 182). Well she didn't. Not because she couldn't but because she didn't think she could. But what the hell, she had a parachute on. Everything else went fine.I'm old for my age.

Kat1221 0 #29 November 21, 2003 Very cool story! This year we had a 82 year old woman come out and do a tandem (her 4th jump, all were tandem) for her birthday. Some people are amazing - hope I'm like that later in life! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
