104 years-skydiving.

We are all aware that Skydiving requires tremendous stamina, skill, endurance etc. Hence young men & women, possessing such stamina, are expected to participate in such daredevil sports-if it could be called a sport at all. What will be our reactions if we find elderly men & women competing in such events. An old man named Dorothy Hoffner from Chicago, aged 104 years did exactly that though it was a tandem dive.  He jumped off and landed 13,500ft later at Northern Illinois airport. What an achievement at such a ripe age. A big salute to the hero.
