Woman, 92, sky dives on birthday
KEENE (New Hampshire): A 92-year-old woman has celebrated her birthday by sky-diving from a plane at 4,000 metres. Swanzey resident Jane Bockstruck told The Keene Sentinel newspaper she didn't know what overcame her when she decided to take the parachute jump.
With a group of friends and relatives watching, Bockstruck leaped on Sept 19 at the Jumptown sky-diving club in Orange, Massachussetts, west of Boston.
She says she doesn't remember jumping from the plane.
But tandem partner and jump instructor Paul Peckham Jr said she had perfect form and landed without a hitch.
He said she's the oldest person he's taken on a jump. The second-oldest was 78.
Bockstruck says she's been married seven times, has travelled the world and has had jobs ranging from hotel desk clerk to seamstress for the John Wayne movie True Grit.
