KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Former President George H.W. Bush celebrated his 90th birthday by skydiving.
“He loves the adrenaline. He loves the jolt. He loves the thrill,” Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said.
Former first lady Barbara Bush was “fully on board,” McGrath added.
“It’s a wonderful day in Maine — in fact, nice enough for a parachute jump,” the former President tweeted Thursday.
Bush jumped in tandem with the same man he has jumped with several times before. Bush has parachuted seven previous times — once when he was shot down as a Navy pilot during World War II and the other six voluntary, including jumps to celebrate his 75th, 80th and 85th birthdays.
