HOMESTEAD, Fla. – The sky was the limit for a man who wanted to celebrate his 90th birthday in a thrilling and exhilarating way.
You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but Jack Kleinert turned 90 years old on March 14th.
“I wanted a life affirming event and what’s better than a death-defying event,” said Jack Kleinert.
The Navy veteran and former pilot is as positive a person as you’ll ever meet and he knew exactly what he wanted to do to celebrate.
“When this 90th birthday came, I thought of it not as the end of my life but maybe as a new chapter, and I couldn’t think of a better thing to do to replicate my old flying, only this time jump out of an airplane,” he explained.
