STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — On Wednesday, a seasoned, hall-of-fame, world champion skydiver made a stop in the Poconos on a mission to make it to 1,000 jumps.

"I like to fly and I like to fly like a bird by myself with no airplane so that's why I love skydiving," said 85-year-old Hall of Fame Skydiver Kim Emmons Knor.

Emmons Knor has her eyes on the prize, a prestigious pair of gold wings from the United States Parachute Association that comes with meeting a milestone.

"I'm trying to go for 1,000 jumps," Emmons Knor explained.
