  • Jerry and Linda were fortunate to be invited to the world premiere of the movie "Skydiving Over Sixty." Director Bob Compton and world record holder Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld were in attendance at the Old Mill Playhouse for the event. We marveled at the skill and daring of the skydivers as they attempted to break the world record for a freefall formation. You'll meet Dan, the star of the event as he chats with the Newcomers. The movie will air on PBS in April of 2025.

    We had company so I didn't see this when it was posted. Our company was family who live in The Villages! They're gone now so I watched and WOW this is really great! I'm so impressed with all these seniors, and can't wait to see the movie. Thanks Jerry and Linda.

    I have a classmate friend, he's 72 and skydives. I'm too much of a chicken but he's been doing it for years. Interesting video.

    My daughter surprised me last year to sky dive for my 60th Birthday! It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done. I felt safer doing that than driving on some of the highways! Can’t wait to jump again! My daughter will never do it again😎

    It’s been such fun watching Linda’s metamorphosis from a timid little caterpillar emerging from her cocoon into a n amazing social butterfly. Jerry, she’s giving you a run for your money. It’s a great race, but not a competition.

    Thanks for the video! I would never jump out of a perfectly good plane - there would be my nail marks on the outside of the plane. But I have friends who love the sport and continue to jump even in their 70's.

    I have Acrophobia- the fear of heights. I also have Arachnophobia- the fear of spiders. The only way I'd jump out of a plane is if there was a spider on board.

    Dan Brodsky Chenfield also organized an event in response to the Oct 7 massacre called Skydivers Against Hate. 51 skydivers, only 5 of which were Jewish, formed a Star of David in the sky. You can find the video by googling "Skydivers Against Hate." This event was held just days before Dan was scheduled for shoulder surgery. Remarkable!

    I just noticed Legacy Bar and Grill has a buy one get one free burger deal on Sundays. Buy a burger and 2 drinks, get a burger free. Same is for Friday fish and chips. You probably already know this, Jerry, being the cheeseburger connoisseur that you are.

    Some people love that falling feeling. I am not one of them, not even in my youth. In my dreams I fly planes, but they look curiously like Fisher Price toys. Better than the blue denim horses I used to ride, I guess. The mind is a strange thing. Boy, the trailer gave me goosebumps when they all jumped from the planes. The sound of a heartbeat in the background. Cool beans.

    What an interesting and exciting topic for today's show, J and L, with Dan. Sorry Tom Petty, but Free Fallin' is not on any of my must dos, but one has to hand it to those with the strength and stamina and love of the sport to want to keep pursuing more jumps regardless of any age. I'll look forward to seeing the film.

    Wow, wow, wow!!!! That is amazing! Like you Linda, I can`t imagine trying to „hook up“ with someone in mid air! Wouldn`t everyone be flying at a different rate of speed and you don`t have a steering wheel to „get me over there“……. I hope I have the chance here in Switzerland to see it next year! Was this gentleman just visiting TV, as he said he had his school in CA? Thank you for sharing that…
