Have a passion, interest, or desire?

This lady is getting her's done at 85.

I guess whether we start in with something as an interest and it grows to a passion over time that's good, if you set goals and can accomplish them that's even better.

This 85 year old young lady has 700 jumps and needs 300 more for her gold wings and seems determined to get them.

I say God Bless her and I hope she gets to finish before her time is up.


A nice article with a short but nice video. Below is just a portion of the short article but there are YouTube video of her out there. She certainly has some pep in her step as they approach the plane and those around her are all smiles.

" Michigan native Kim Knor, 85, wants to skydive 1,000 times"

" Knor is a long-term skydiver, taking her first jump at age 20, before taking a 37-year hiatus to raise a family. Now, as a great-grandmother, Knor is eagerly jumping her way across the country toward her lifelong goal of 1,000 skydives. She travels in a mobile home by herself, jumping out of airplanes whenever she can."

The most astonishing thing is that "she is traveling by herself in a mobile home"!!!

Everything in those categories are a moving target for me. More power to her.

LOL, I missed that completely.

(Obviously they meant an RV, but yeah. It's common for skydiver types to travel around in RVs or even tents, to the point most DZ's (Drop Zone) have a small RV park type area attached)

She was at the spousal unit's DZ just recently, absolute legend. Spousal unit didn't get to jump with her but she was definitely the talk of the town so to speak... But they've had older, up to a lady while back who celebrated her 100th birthday with a tandem skydive...

That story is so cool.  Yes, passion, interest and desire.
