COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Former President George H.W. Bush celebrated the grand reopening of his presidential museum on Saturday 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. On Saturday, Bush was strapped to an expert from the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team, as he was three years ago.
Bush, now 83, had hip replacement surgery in January. He said at the time he planned to skydive in 2009 for his 85th birthday.

Awesome. He earned it getting shot down in WW2. I’ll do other things to celebrate my advancing age.

I can understand why he did it the first time. The times after that were out of a perfectly good airplane.

George H. W. Bush is a stupid meat bomb. Yeah, if only he had applied himself he could have been a mean spirited Internet crank with a superiority complex sitting on his duff behind a keyboard taking snarky pot shots at others.
