BC woman celebrates 99th birthday skydiving with great-grandson

A B.C. woman celebrated her 99th birthday by skydiving with her great-grandson.

“I don’t consider that I’m a thrill seeker. I just like to know things, I like to experience things, Coquitlam’s Lucie Koenig told Global News. “I don’t scare easy.”

It’s not the first time in recent years that Koenig has gone skydiving. She strapped on a parachute for her 93rd birthday as well but had hoped to experience the thrill with her great-grandson Nicholas Tait.

Tait, 21, said he felt honoured his great-grandmother wanted to take the leap with him.

“I think I’m more nervous. I don’t think my great grandma is nervous at all,” he said. “She has no fear.”

Koenig has also gone ziplining and even elephant riding.
