God Love George Bush 41!
I'm freefallin'Former President Bush celebrated the grand reopening of his presidential museum today with a surprise skydive. It was the former president's sixth skydive and his first since 2004, when he jumped to celebrate his 80th birthday.
When Bush jumped today, he was strapped to an expert from the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team, as he did three years ago.
Bush is 83 years old. He had hip replacement surgery in January. He said at the time that he planned to skydive in 2009 for his 85th birthday. Bush's first parachute jump came in 1944 when he was shot down over the Pacific island of Chi Chi Jima.
