Al Blaschke, the oldest person to tandem parachute jump, accompanies Abbott in his first skydiving experience.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott went skydiving with 106-year-old World War II veteran Al Blaschke.
Blaschke, who first skydived on his 100th birthday, holds the world record for being the oldest person to do a tandem parachute jump.
The event was Abbott's first skydiving experience, despite being paralyzed from the waist down due to an accident in 1984.
The skydiving took place near San Marcos, Texas, at Skydive Spaceland San Marcos.
Abbott described the experience as thrilling and fascinating, noting the peace and calm once the parachute opened.
