84-Year-Old Woman Sets Sights On Skydiving 1,000 Times

An 84-year-old Colorado woman is nearing her 600th time skydiving — and her goal is to reach a lifetime total of 1,000.

Kim Knor of Denver started skydiving at age 20 in 1959, and in 1962 she became a member of the inaugural U.S. Women’s Parachute Team.

She said her passion for skydiving is how she met her husband.

Knor stopped skydiving for 37 years after her husband had a serious accident, but she resumed her old passion after his death in 2003.

Knor was inducted into the International Skydiving Museum and Hall of Fame in 2013.

Knor said she has now surpassed 580 times skydiving in her life, but she isn’t planning to slow down anytime soon — she is aiming for a total of 1,000.

Knor said she hopes to inspire more women to try skydiving.
