Family of airman going to Iraq plan skydive salute

? Tina Peters wanted to do something special as a salute to her son’s service to his country as he heads back to Iraq for a second tour – so she’s going to jump out of an airplane.

The thing is, the 57-year-old woman has never done that before.

“My mom’s crazy,” said Air Force Staff Sgt. Jason Peters, 31. “I’ll be sitting back with the insurance agent, watching.”

His older brother, Ray Peters, 32, plans to skydive with their mother today in a “Jumping for Jason” event at Browne Airport.

Jason Peters, a member of the 75th Logistics Readiness Squadron, is scheduled to be deployed next week for about 10 months.
