A 101-year-old D-Day veteran broke a world record when he jumped out a plane at 15,000 feet in England. He is the oldest skydiver ever at 101 and 38 days.
Verdun Hayes received a military guard of honor for his record-breaking tandem dive, reports CBS. He raised thousands of dollars for military charity by doing the jump.
His family decided to join him, and Hayes had four generations of his family in the air at the same time.
And how did he feel after his jump? “Oh absolutely over the moon.”
