Happy 90th Birthday Mr. President!
The socks-crazy president is celebrating his milestone birthday the only way he knows how: by skydiving!
Just as he did for his 80th and 85th birthday, President Bush plans to celebrate entering his ninth decade with one last parachute jump.
It's a wonderful day in Maine — in fact, nice enough for a parachute jump.
— George Bush (@GeorgeHWBush) June 12, 2014Marking his eighth skydive, the president jumped out of a plane on a tandem jump with a former member of the U.S. Army Parachute Team and the president of All Veterans Group, according to a press release.
To help commemorate the special jump, Twitter was filled with real-time updates of Bush 41’s status.

— John Kerry (@JohnKerry) June 12, 2014Supporters nationwide are also celebrating the senior Bush by showing off their craziest socks as a gesture to Bush 41’s favorite accessory. You can even design your own footwear and submit it to the Bush President Library where President Bush will pick a winning design to display at the library in College Station, Texas.
