A Pennsylvania woman has celebrated her 94th birthday by going skydiving along with her granddaughter and great-granddaughter.
Williamsport resident Eila Campbell says she figured she might not ‘make it for another year’ at her age, so she took the 10,000ft (3,048-meter) plunge on Sunday at Hazleton Regional Airport.
‘This year, when I’m going to be this age, this old, I figured I’ll never make it for another year,’ Campbell said to WNEP 16.
‘I better do it now.’

Granddaughter Sarah Schuelke and great-granddaughter Jess Fox also jumped. Each woman jumped separately but in tandem with an instructor.
‘This was her bucket list and there was no way I was missing the most incredible matriarch jumping for one of the greatest families,’ added Sarah Schuelke.
‘I wasn’t going to miss it.’

Campbell described the free fall as ‘kind of a wow’ and says she’d skydive again.
The owner of Above the Poconos Skydivers Don Keller – who holds the Guinness Book of World Record for the most skydives at over 44,000 – said he’s never seen anyone as old as Campbell jump.
The woman truly had guts.
