Bush celebrates his 90th birthday living dangerously

The former United States President tweeted about his 90th birthday parachute jump posting,

“It’s a wonderful day in Maine — in fact, nice enough for a parachute jump.”

George H.W. Bush was a Naval aviator during World War II, and has made it a tradition to make similar birthday leaps every five years since his 80th birthday.
