You are never too old to do something amazing
At iFLY Manchester, we've been massively inspired of late by the wonderful Glen Mills, an 82 yr young lady who is wheelchair bound and suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Glen flys with us every week, proving that you are never too young to amazing things, even when you have to overcome physical hurdles to do them.

People were saying that the future of skydiving will be different if these contraptions ever catch on, so we had to check it out for ourselves.
