A 94-year-old woman wasn’t taking her latest birthday laying down, but instead decided to jump out of plane and go skydiving instead.
Eila Campbell of Williamsport, Pennsylvania jumped out of plane some 10,000 feet above the Poconos for her birthday.
"This year, when I'm going to be this age, this old, I figured I'll never make it for another year," Campbell said. "I better do it now."
Campbell reached up to 120 mph during her free fall, according to WNEP-TV.
For most, they would be nervous over making a jump like this for the first time. But for Campbell, she was calm, cool and collected.
"The free fall is kind of a 'wow.' The wind is so terrific. It was great and I loved it. I'll do it again," Campbell said.
Campbell’s granddaughter was with her for the jump, saying she was overjoyed to see her grandmother celebrate her birthday in epic fashion.
"This was her bucket list and there was no way I was missing the most incredible matriarch jumping for one of the greatest families," Sarah Schuelke said. "I wasn't going to miss it."
