He’s still got that spunk at 83 years old. He went skydiving yesterday to celebrate the grand reopening of his presidential museum:

He’s 83 and just had hip replacement surgery in January, but that isn’t keeping former President George H.W. Bush from skydiving.

Bush celebrated the grand reopening of his presidential museum on Saturday with a surprise skydive, his sixth and his first since 2004, when he jumped to celebrate his 80th birthday.

Bush jumped on Saturday strapped to an expert from the Army Golden Knights parachute team, as he did three years ago.

His first parachute jump was in 1944 when his plane was shot down over the Pacific island of Chi Chi Jima.

I hope I have that kind of energy and zest for life when I’m 83. Good for him.
