I am deaf and 52 years old. I live in Springfield, Illinois. Last July 3rd I got A license after skydiving lesson. Look at black and orange jumpsuit. This is me. Watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sjN5YriSi8
Since I was a little boy and always want to be skydiver like my Uncle when I saw his pictures on the wall of the Paratrooper. I still love to jumping since more than 20 years. I understood why the birds signing… : ) Don’t be chicken and please look up http://www.deafskydivers.org Thanks, Fred
I am ur skydiver in Perris Calif and I had been there for long time and had my 486 jumps and I will be very happy to join u in the future when I get back in the air and I am so impressed ur courage everyone and it doesn’t matter how old they have to be but let get some experience in the air for once or twice or go for it more !!! You are so amaze and doing well in the air and My buddy Scott is the one that I brought him in the air. He did well and keep up in the air and land safe !!! Blue skies Richard from Perris skydive !!
Ed Buell is legendary in Phoenix as being an “iron man!” He is a tireless volunteer and member of several Deaf organizations here in Arizona. I am proud to know him as a friend. Also, his sense of humor is definitely hilarious! Love ya, Ed! May you have many more skydives ahead of you!
Congratulation, ED! It was great to know that your courage, positive attitude, and encouragement will influence others who want to try it. I would love to try it as I have already wanted to see what the view up the air (13,000 feet – you stated) looks like. I can imagine how magnificent view it may be.
Hi Uncle Brother, Great video! My wife and I did this in Hawaii our last time there. So much fun. What do you think it will take to get your sister Ada to jump? HaHa!
Love, Andy & Judith
I am interesting in join skydiving with a group of senior citizen group ..Where and who I can contact about skydiving..I am a senior citizen, 74 years old ..Congratulate to Ed Buell on his skydiving..Lavonia
Congratulations! Hat to you!
As I am one of deaf skydivers/organizers in deaf skydiving events, I believe that you are the world’s OLDEST DEAF person ever to make your first skydive.
Blue skies,

Pat on your shoulder for bravery skydiving at different ages – 80 and 85. I like to skydiving with John Woo (or someone else), if he still actives skydiver. You look great at your age with so much activities to explore rather than sitting and watching TV.
Bravo for Ed Buell for his skydriver experience! I want to try this new experience one of these days! My son and few friends took skydriver in Hawaii once in 2006. They had blast time!
