World War II Veteran Paratrooper Vince Speranza of the 101st Airborne made a tandem skydive with Art Shaffer of Skydive Palatka on Saturday at the age of 98. The pair jumped from the “Tico Belle,” a World War II veteran C-47 aircraft from the Normandy D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Speranza has made other tandem skydives for recent commemorative events in the United States and Europe.
