A thrill-seeking great-grandma has celebrated her 90th birthday by taking to the air and skydiving from 15,000 feet.
Patricia Baker, from Lancashire, said it felt awesome to plunge from a whopping three miles up in testing conditions.Patricia said she wasn’t too worried about the jump as she keeps herself fit by doing 50 sit-ups every morning.Speaking shortly after landing, the daredevil grandma said: ‘It felt awesome, a little bit scary but absolutely awesome.‘I was a bit nervous when I was sitting with my legs off the plane but then we were off.
The retired factory worker said: ‘I realised I didn’t have one so thought I better think of something to do to celebrate my birthday.Due to her age, Patricia’s doctor wouldn’t sign a medical form enabling her to dive, so she had to go to the dive centre and pass a medical test. Lockdown threw another spanner in the works as she wasn’t able to do the jump on the original date, which was just a few days before her birthday in July.Mum-of-three Patricia finally got the jump done at Black Knights Parachute Centre this week.‘She actually landed half a mile horizontally from where she jumped because she was blown across.
