I think George Sr. is a stud and glad he's still willing to do a jump.
I've taken several 80+ yr olds on tandems. The funniest was the woman who brought her entire church out to watch her.
There have been some really old ones:
Frank Moody, aged 101, accepted a dare from mates over a beer at his local football club.
They challenged him to make a sky-dive jump and Frank Moody was game.
He has now qualified for the Guinness Book of World Records after a successful tandem shy-dive from 3000m with skydiver and instructor, Karl Eitech.
Karl says it was bizarre jumping out of a plane with a man who was alive before planes were invented!
Frank says he was pushed!

George Salyer - Record-setting skydiver who holds the records for oldest male tandem jumper at age 91 and multigenerational jumper at age 94 when he skydived with his son, grandson and great grandson, died Nov. 3 in a house fire (yikes!) at age 101.
