The former president celebrated his special day by jumping from a helicopter over Kennebunkport, Maine. Bush made the jump at 6,000 feet, accompanied by former members of the U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights.
When he landed, his entire family was gathered waiting for him.
The birthday boy shared his excitement about his skydiving adventure on Twitter earlier in the morning, writing, "It's a wonderful day in Maine— in fact, nice enough for a parachute jump."
