Former paratrooper Leo Dean started civilian jumping at 75 and made 167 jumps, was also part of an amphibious and airborne assault of 40,000 to 60,000 U.S. soldiers who stormed the beaches of southern France with French and British troops.

Leo made a tandem at Perris last year.(see video). Leo worked till his last day, passing at 91. I never had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman but wish I had; seems like one hell of a guy.
