Just six months after being hospitalized for bronchitis, former president George H.W. Bush went sky diving to celebrate his 90th birthday.

This time, Bush 41 jumped from a helicopter with members of the All Veteran Group and four members of the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team.
It's only been two years since the former president's last sky-dive. At the time, he told his granddaughter and NBC host Jenna Bush Hager that he saw another jump in his future.

But not all of Bush's jumps have been as smooth. The Washington Times reports during his first experience skydiving in World War II, his plane engine caught on fire and he had to wait for hours in the ocean to be picked up.
This was Bush's eighth parachute jump overall.
