<p><br /> If you need an idea of how to celebrate getting to the grand old age of 90, one woman has an idea.<br /> </p><p><br /> Joan Harding celebrated reaching the milestone with a major adrenalin rush.<br /> </p><p><br /> She teamed up with a local skydiving team in Honiton, near Exeter on Thursday.<br /> </p><p><br /> "I imagine it's going to be a swish of air to begin with, and then that lovely feeling of floating. The sort of feeling you dream about. You know, floating down to earth," Harding said.<br /> </p><p><br /> With her Red Devil skydiving gear on, plus massive amounts of guts and courage, and a little bit of help getting on the plane, Harding was floating up in the air in no time, strapped to another skydiver.<br /> </p><p><br /> "Well I was sitting on his lap most of the time. The first bit out of the plane was a bit suprising, it took my breath away, but after that it was just smashing. I just floated, and went round and round with my co-pilot at the back there," a jubilant Harding said after her flight.<br /> </p><p><br /> Harding's flight was also part of the celebration of the Royal British Legions 90th anniversary<br /> </p>
