I wouldn't jump out of a plane... not at 18, 25 or 40 and certainly not at 85 like President George Herbert Walker Bush did recently. Bush has gone skydiving for his 75th and 80th birthdays as well and expects to do the same when he turns 90. Bush jumped from 10,500 feet and is pictured here traveling over 100 mph in freefall. He is tandem jumping with Mike Elliott of the Army's Golden Knights.
Bush has jumped out of a plane seven times. His first was when his Navy plane was shot down during World War II over the Pacific Ocean in 1944. He bailed out at 1,500 feet after a bombing mission but the rest of his crew didn't make it.
Truly--- George Bush I is a man's man.
I wonder what I will do to celebrate my 50th birthday this year? Certainly nothing as dramatic as this.

Why Not?!?
You only go around once.
My first (and last) jump was the week before I got married. Couldn't have done it after the "I do"
