This is the adrenaline-fuelled moment a World War II nurse skydives over the Florida coast for her 100th birthday.

The heartwarming scenes were filmed by the company Skydive Sebastian based in the city of Sebastian in Indian River County in the US state of Florida.

Raymonde Sullivan, a former nurse who served on the frontlines during World War II, decided to carry out a skydive for her 100th birthday.

She said: “I had never done it, and I’ve done a lot of things in 100 years so I thought I must do it while I can.”

Sullivan called the experience “scary” and said she was happy to have done it, but would not be returning for a second jump.

After her adrenaline-fuelled escapades, the daredevil OAP celebrated her centenary with relatives at The Castle party venue in Fort Pierce.

Sullivan’s close friend and neighbour Karen Plante told Newsflash: “The whole thing started two years ago when she found out I went skydiving for the first time in March. She asked me if I would take her on her 100th birthday and I told her I would be honoured to!

“Raymonde and I are good friends and we live in the same community. This woman is amazing! She looks about 80 and she has never been in a hospital, so I’m told.”

Plante said to Newsflash: “She was very excited that she was going to have the opportunity to do it. The closer it got to her birthday, I think she started to get a little apprehensive but she would not say it to anybody!

“The only wish she told me was that she wanted to skydive!”

Plante added: “After she went skydiving, in the late afternoon she had a birthday party and we all celebrated with a lot of her family.”
