Elder Bush leaps into his 85th birthday

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - Former President George H.W. Bush marked his 85th birthday yesterday the same way he did his 75th and 80th birthdays: He leaped from a plane and zoomed downward at more than 100 m.p.h. before parachuting safely to a spot near his oceanfront home.

Former President George H. W. Bush rides with Sgt. First Class Mike Elliott of the Army Golden Knights parachute team as they zoom downward over his hometown of Kennebunkport, Maine, to celebrate his 85th birthday. "It was a great day in the air," he quipped later.
