howardwhite 6 #1 May 12, 2008 Gee, they put great grandmothers out on unusual skydives in Florida. This is a screen grab from the TV report. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vskydiver 0 #5 May 12, 2008 How in the world does that remotely look like someone's great grandma? I think it would have been better not to put a picture there at all than to put that on there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it might look lie some people's great grandmother... but I don't think they let them jump if they're that big.... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

howardwhite 6 #7 May 13, 2008 Well, the TV station obviously found out it had made a booboo, and put up the real picture of granny's exit. Much more believable. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharimcm 0 #11 May 13, 2008 My grandmother has agreed to go on a tandem jump on her 85th birthday (next Feb. - if she makes it that long). She has 14 great grandchildren. I'm hoping to be on that jump with her. She's a cool grandma... She'll be getting her first tattoo next month.

vskydiver 0 #14 May 13, 2008 Wow! She looks pretty good for a Great Grandma! That cargo chute didn't do her justice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #15 May 13, 2008 I had a cousin in FL that was a grandmother at the age of 29.... and a great gransmother before she was 50. At least the granddaughter waited till she was 19... unlike Judy and her daughter who both got preggers at 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
