Kathryn "Kitty" Hodges: Soaring to New Heights at 103

 Kitty Hodges, 103, joyfully raises her arms, celebrating life

At 103 years old, Kathryn "Kitty" Hodges has shown the world that age is no barrier to adventure. This Seattle native and fearless daredevil recently broke a record by becoming the oldest female tandem skydiver, surpassing her equally bold predecessors several 102-year-olds. Her breathtaking leap from the skies proves that it’s never too late to tackle new and thrilling challenges.

A Leap of Courage

For many, skydiving is a once-in-a-lifetime experience a mix of exhilaration and sheer courage. For Kitty, it was more than just an adventure; it was a statement. By stepping out of an airplane and freefalling at terminal velocity, she demonstrated that age does not define one’s ability to embrace new experiences. Her record-breaking jump is a shining example of how even life’s later years can be filled with extraordinary moments.
