Senior Bush’s Wonderful Five Year Itch

What a way to celebrate one’s 85th birthday!!! A jump from the plane…Up in the sky…And enjoying a wonderful bird’s eye view. That’s what former US President H.W. Bush did, and got an affectionate kiss from wife Barbara on safe landing. Also present on the scene was his son, former US president George W. Bush, who generally sought thrills of different kind!!!

Bush famously skydived on his 75th and 80th birthdays and hopes to repeat it on his 90th birthday as well.

Birthday boy Bush further encouraged fellow senior citizens to go out and take a sky bite, adding: “You can go out and get something done.

“Just because you’re old, that doesn’t mean you can’t do fun stuff. And you don’t want to sit around drooling in the corner. It’s a wonderful release.” More here…

Bush jumped from 13,500 feet, freefalling with tandem partners for 8,000 feet before hitting the parachute and going for a soft landing. He has skydived several times (including involuntarily during World War II). More here…
