Manette Baillie, from Suffolk, undertook the feat to raise money for three causes close to her heart – the East Anglian Air Ambulance, Motor Neurone Disease Association and Benhall Village Hall.
So far, she has managed to raise £9,000 of her £30,000 target.
Speaking after her momentous jump, Ms Baillie said: “When the door opened I thought, there is nothing more I can do or say. Just jump.
“Well I suppose I jumped, I remember my legs going out and it’s a kind of blur. I shut my eyes.
“We seemed to travel at a very fast speed.”
Members of her local community, where she has lived since 1961, came down to the Suffolk airfield to cheer her on as she flew down to earth.
It’s not the first time the centenarian, who was married to a paratrooper, has faced down adventure, having served in the Women’s Royal Navy Service (WRENS) in Egypt during the Second World War.
Thrill-seeking Ms Baillie – who still regularly drives – marked her 100th birthday by driving a Ferrari racing car at 130mph at Silverstone race course.
“I play an active part in the community and people often ask me what is the secret of old age. Of course, it is luck but I would say keep both physically and mentally active and socialise!” Ms Baillie previously said.
