Tee Taylor, D-462, made her first jump in 1961 and continued to jump while she worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines. At the 1963 National Parachuting Championships, Taylor qualified for the U.S. Parachute Team after producing a doctor’s note for the meet director that allowed her to skydive with a broken wrist in a plaster cast. In 1964, Taylor led the women’s team that took first place in the world meet in Leutkirch, Germany where she took first place in style and was crowned Overall Women’s World Champion. She also competed in the 1964 Nationals in Salt Lake City and, in 1994, traveled to China with the U.S. Parachute Team as head of delegation.
