Eight skydivers took to the sky over DeLand, Florida, on Saturday and accomplished a new Guinness world record.
Cliff Davis, Scott Gallen, Woody McKay, Sky Humanski, Paul Hinen, Ted Williams and Jim Culhane made the record-breaking jump with the largest formation of jumpers over the age of 80, according to WFTV.

The previous Jumpers Over Eighty Society record was a formation of six jumpers.
The jump was part of a three-day event sponsored by the Skydiving Hall of Fame Celebration at Skydive DeLand.
“Achieving our goal to break and set the new world record for the largest formation of jumpers over the age of 80 is a testament to the teamwork, experience and skill of the team members and support staff,” Davis told WFTV.
The sport of skydiving started over 60 years ago with people jumping out of airplanes over 14,000 feet above the ground.
