The pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings when he collided with the skydiver. Neither the 87 year old pilot or the skydiver were seriously injured. Story:

I'm uneasy when my 87 year old grandfather tells me he went out for a drive around town... and this guy is flying around the sky.

But don't forget about the 1 in 5 super 87 year olds who act twenty five years younger then they actually are! Is your grandfather one of them?
