90 Year old Skydiver
Nov 21, 2021 21:35:04 #
I experienced a skydiving celebration from the ground at Perris Skydiving area. Pat Moorehead turned 90 and on his birthday he jumped 9 jumps to raise money for the skydiving Museum. The jumpers organization sold T-shirts. Here are a few photos to give you an idea of what the event felt like. The first two photos are of Pat, and the last one too.

Wow Brent, so much to say! So, great set of shots, nicely taken. It's wonderful to see an older gentleman still enjoying life, and kudos to him for raising money for the museum like this.
Back in the UK, there were a bunch of us that used to regularly frequent our local pub. There was an older lady among us (in her 60s at the time), who used to enjoy telling people that she had taken off in an airplane, but never landed in one. That always was the cause of very puzzled looks! Of course our bunch of friends knew exactly what she meant. We had all done a parachute jump for charity, and for this lovely lady it was her first and only time on a plane, so she had in fact, taken off in one without landing in it!

Those are great photos! I did a tandem jump once when I was 50. Biggest thrill of my life!! I would like to do it again someday, hopefully before I am 90!
