When Jock Hutton was a much younger man, he parachuted into Ranville, the first village to be liberated on D-Day. He and his fellow brave soldiers (like 95-year-old Joe Bell) helped usher in the end of WWII, and you would think after all those harrowing parachute jumps with the military, he would be all set never stepping foot outside a plane again!
But Jock Hutton isn't your average 89-year-old grandpa!
After calmly jumping out of a plane flying at 5,000 feet, Hutton parachuted to the same ground he had touched down on decades before. When he was interviewed immediately after the jump, Hutton said "When people tell me 'oh you're lucky,' I say 'the more exercise I do, the luckier I get'."
Here's hoping we'll all be as nimble as Jock on the eve of our 90th birthdays!
