I was just at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson. There was a 102 year old B-17 pilot who gave a talk. He served in Vietnam too as an F4 Phantom pilot. Just amazing. My brother and I both had the same thoughts as we left. One of them was what a shame it will be if the communists take over the country after all the sacrifices so many have made.

Great for her to be taken on this jump as a passenger but if they keep calling these people skydivers and completely giving the impression they are controlling their chutes and landings then what are we going to call the actual skydivers?

She’s safer falling out an airplane than walking around Londonstan.

Many years ago, I had a friend who was a skydiver. I liked to go up in a plane with him and watch him jump, but I would never in a million years do it myself. Just looking out the door made me dizzy.

So, this woman is beyond wonderful to do what she did. And no, I don’t care that someone else was pulling the strings.

She probably got the inspiration in 2012 by watching a younger woman doing it.
