 101-year-old World War II veteran celebrates birthday with second skydive, plans third jump at 102

   Jimmy Hernandez celebrated his 101st birthday by once again taking to the skies, marking the occasion with a tandem skydive in California.

The World War II veteran made his second jump at Skydance Skydiving in Davis, accompanied by his son, Mark Hernandez, and grandson, Santiago.

For Hernandez, jumping from an airplane has become something of a birthday tradition. He completed his first skydive when he turned 100 and decided to return to the skies for his 101st birthday.

“Once you're flying, you are in the hands of the Lord,” Hernandez said.

His son admitted he was nervous about making his own first skydive, but said his father showed little hesitation.

“You can't tell him anything,” Mark said. “He's going to do it, no matter what.”

After landing safely, Hernandez offered his thoughts on the secret to a long life, emphasizing kindness and affection.

“I would say to respect, to love, to hug, and to kiss,” he said. “Because without that, there's a lot of hate going on.”

Hernandez said he hopes to make another jump when he turns 102, although he left the final decision in God’s hands.

“If the Lord says, only,” he said.
