The Oldest, and Certainly Loveliest, Female Sky Diver

At 82, Dylis holds the world record for being the oldest female skydiver in the world, writes this short-films director, James Callum.

“Full of confidence and liberated by her passion, Dylis talks us through her mindset before each dive. She confides that her only worry when it comes to skydiving is refusing to get out of the car at the drop zone because she knows that if she backed out of a dive she would regret it. In her opinion ‘the ecstasy is far more than the fear.’

“Along with the enjoyment, it has given Dylis the courage she needed to start her own charity and share the uplifting energy with others. This is her story.”
