Happy birthday, Leah!
Leah Dickey recently turned 90 years old. To celebrate, she jumped out of an airplane.Dickey said she spent her last two birthdays pulling similar stunts.
“Last year, I went up in a glider for that birthday, the year before a zipline,” she said. “And so I’ve tried a lot of things … and river rafting.” Dickey and her sister were raised on a farm in southern Minnesota. She said the two created a bond over a bucket list of things to do in their lifetime.She made the appointment to do just that with gusto when she turned 90.Dickey’s great-granddaughter went with her as the two flew over Eloy, Arizona.Dickey said, on the way down, the jump instructor told her to make a heart with her hands in the air, but she was unable to do so due to the pressure of the wind on their fall.
“When I was just flying up there like a bird, I could see everything below,” she said. “It was beautiful and it’s so green and gorgeous as Arizona always is.”“So, I’ve already decided I’m going back next year because my granddaughter, great-granddaughter, jumped with me and I promised her, I’d go back with her next year,” she said.“I would say try it, try everything, get out there and live and do it,” she said.
