MUST WATCH | World War II Veteran Paratrooper Vince Speranza of the 101st Airborne took to the skies for a tandem skydive proving that age is just a number.
Speranza boarded a C-47 aircraft Saturday alongside fellow veteran, and owner of “Skydive Palatka,” Art Shaffer.
Taking off in the “Tico Belle” —an aircraft used during the Normandy D-Day invasion — the pair were joined by people from all over the country with the Round Canopy Parachuting Team - USA Foundation. Some people who participated in the jumps over the weekend will head to Normandy, France this summer. They plan to perform canopy parachute jumps to mark 79 years since the D-Day invasion of World War II.
