Granny, 90, goes sky-diving

A woman celebrated her ninetieth birthday by sky-diving.



Grandmother, Mary Armstrong, jumped out of the plane at 12,000ft.

The widower plummeted at 120mph, strapped to an instructor. She was in freefall for more than 30 seconds before the chute finally opened at around 6,000ft over Ashford, Kent.

According to the Mirror she said: "It was lovely. It was a beautiful day for it and I can't wait to have another go."

It is Mary's third parachute jump in four years.

Mary, from East Moseley, Surrey, has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Her exploits have raised more than £1,000 for horse charities.

She'll jump with the horse next time.

Wow! that's incredible!! Good for her!!! That just shows u that anyone can do it!!

NOT !

chicken mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I have jumped out of all the planes I intend to jump out of, good or bad. Im chickin and too damn old to care

yeah but back then ya got paid for it....

Yeah, $197.00 per month! Made a lot of money doing that!

Add three bucks to that pay, and you could jump with Boogie in Feb.

I'll cover the $3 !

And the people greeting you on the ground are probably a lot friendlier.

I have a place in my heart for all of you. :p

The U.S. Marine Corps said Tuesday it has been authorized to recall thousands of Marines, up to 80 years old, back to active duty. Don't give up yet, the letter probably in the mail already.

Now, that would really be a sight to see. I hope they issue new uniforms as I dont think I would fit into my old ones!
