Nonagenarian Jumps To Support Skydiving Community on Nov. 20

Skydive Perris to See History as 90yo Skydiver Makes 9 B-Day Jumps

Pat Moore's upcoming November 20 jump is on the way! Just over a week remains until the 90-year-old-to-be jumps in support of the International Skydiving Museum & Hall of Fame.

Jumping at Skydive Perris, Perris, California, the nonagenarian will make a series of 9 skydives, one for each decade of a life well-lived. Support can be donated through merchandise purchases, museum donations, or by jumpers making their own 9-way formation to help keep the legends of the sport alive. A portion of funds from all activities will go towards continuing their mission in preserving the legacy of skydiving for generations to come. 

Ten years ago, Moore completed a similar accomplishment for his 80th birthday, raising $20,000 for the museum with Team80. For that 2011 attempt, Team80 supported Moore with 50 riggers, cameramen, a pilot, and medical personnel on standby. A constant stream of parachute packing and aircraft prep took place over the course of 6 ½ hours, until he made his 81st jump with a celebratory American flag.

Even at 80, his spry stamina impressed spectators throughout the day. "He had a lot of energy when he finished – there were no mishaps. It was perfect," said Nancy Gruttman-Tyler, a retired skydiver present for the occasion.

Pat is a long time supporter of the Museum, being a part of the International Skydiving Hall of Fame Class of 2016, as well as an Ambassador and Trustees Award winner. A long time performer and actor, he has been a part of numerous media projects as well as the California Aerial Circus Parachute Team. He has served on the United States Parachute Association’s board of directors and received their Lifetime Achievement Award.
