Tony Osornio’s life has been forever changed by her insatiable passion for jumping from planes. She was born into a conservative family, and decided to marry the first man who asked in order to escape the restrictions of home. Her husband was a Mexican military officer with access to the planes used by elite paratroopers. With his help, Tony would sneak on board too, parachute strapped to her back. She was immediately hooked on the incredible feeling of freedom. Desperate to chase that experience, she decided she needed to join the Mexican army herself, something no woman had done before. Part two of Tony’s story follows in tomorrow’s programme.
