Women, 85 and 89, Achieve Lifelong Skydiving Dreams in US

Two elderly women, Charlotte Moszczenski, 85, from Missouri, and Virginia Salay, 89, from New York, recently fulfilled lifelong dreams by skydiving. Charlotte's jump was a tribute to her late husband, a paratrooper and founding member of the St. Louis Parachute Club, and was made possible through a local program called the “Dream Come True Program.” Despite initial concerns from her family, Charlotte's successful skydive inspired others to pursue their own dreams while they still can. Similarly, Virginia had dreamed of skydiving since her teenage years, drawn by the sense of freedom and fascination with space, and was supported by her family and a local skydiving team for her tandem jump from 10,000 feet. Both women described their experiences as once-in-a-lifetime moments that brought them joy, exhilaration, and a profound feeling of freedom. Their stories highlight the power of determination and the importance of seizing opportunities regardless of age.
