How does President George H. W. Bush plan to spend his 85th birthday? By jumping out of a plane with not only a parachute strapped to his back, but also CNN HLN anchor Robin Meade.
On Friday, the former president will jump with Meade above Kennebunkport, Maine, as part of his weekend birthday celebrations. Joining him in the sky will be the Army’s Golden Knights.
Bush 41 is no stranger to parachute jumps, with Friday marking his seventh attempt. His first jump was as a Navy Pilot in 1944 when his plane was shot down in World War II. He similarly marked his 75th and 80th birthdays with the same stunt.
