Woman Goes Skydiving For the First Time At 102

A 102-year-old woman from Maryland was able to fulfill a longtime dream by going skydiving for the first time in her life .

Vivian "Millie" Bailey is a World War II veteran who will be featured on the American Heroes Channel's Honor Flight Heroes show. She was asked by producers of the show if there was a bucket list item she had never crossed off.

Bailey's answer? Skydiving!

She said she had been thinking about it ever since former President George H.W. Bush went skydiving when he was 90 years old.

Bailey thought the skydiving attempt was only a dream because she couldn't afford the $300 cost for a tandem jump, However, producers of the show that was profiling her picked up the tab and will feature footage on her episode.

The executive producer of the show, Eric J. Roberts, said. "Millie would be the first 102-year-old person on Mars if it could be arranged."
