That was Julie's first jump with Tom
0:03
And we want to make it special for him. I'm going to
wear this on my chest. He's going up on the jump with us

I'll be wearing it right here in my chest. This
jump, this time, was in honor of Tom Noonan

In 2021, we attempted this jump from 41,000 feet.
And unfortunately, it resulted in Tom's passing
0:29
Tom was in his mid-40s, spent his
entire career as a tandem skydiver
0:36
Everybody around the world knew of Tom Nune.
That's right. No one's promised tomorrow
0:41
He was gone too soon. I mean, if there had been a way for
me to go instead of him, I would have gone in an instant
0:47
So we did the jump in honor of
three things. One is folds of honor

42,000 plus feet off the ground right now

Nothing else like in the world. When you land, there's
always that natural exhilaration of a great jump
2:00
In this case, it's an exceptional
because now we know we landed safe
2:04
safely and it's a new world record.
That's for Tom. That's for Tom Noonan
2:08
All for Tom. Tom and Julie. Awesome.
