Public viewing area to be open for Bush jump

The George Bush Forty-One Endowment has announced that a viewing area will be open to the general public for former President George Bush's parachute jump at the George Bush Presidential Library on Sunday.

The George Bush Forty-One Endowment is a campaign to raise $41 million to benefit the Bush Library Foundation, the Points of Light Foundation and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Parking for the event will open at 10 a.m. and the space will accommodate 5,000 spectators.

"We are pleased to open this event to the general public free of charge, and our goal is to accommodate as many people as we safely can," said Roman Popaduik, the executive director of the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation. "We strongly urge those who join us Sunday to come prepared with their own sunscreen, water, hats and umbrellas."

Bush is scheduled to jump with the Golden Knights, the U.S. Army Parachute Team. Actor Chuck Norris and Fox News Managing Editor Brit Hume will also be jumping with the former president.

26. haha....looks like you were right!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Former President George H.W. Bush's parachute jump to celebrate his 80th birthday was delayed Sunday by gusty wind.
Officials decided the 41st president should jump in tandem with a member of an Army parachute team due to the weather conditions, rather than performing a solo jump from an airplane flying 13,000 feet over his presidential library

If they don't work, just bring them back.

19. yeah, really, really swell---I also have wishes.

I too wish them *all* the best. I hope it is the jump of a lifetime for all three of those fools. I do hope the folks on the ground get a really, really good show and the news stations the video of a lifetime as well.

15. One question...

With or without parachutes?

[Sticky]

16. This situation is ripe for ridicule

by the Dems.....they should all get together and make a giant spectacle of this so-called news agency.

There are many other instances where fox has shown it's bias.

17. Last jump Bush made he did it with the aid of another

He was not by himself under that umbrella. He was carried by a veteran jumper. Will he go solo this time?

21. News earlier

said it would not be tandem --buckled/strapped to a "jumpmaster". Presumably he will deploy the pilot shoot which inflates to pull open the main canopy/parachute. Jumps are rehearsed ahead called the "dirt dive". With the freefall team
they can maneuver to see he has not tumbled or passed out
preventing ability to deploy on his own..in such case one would
move in to get the pilot shoot out -- bet they'd never tell if any
mishap high up occurred. Tho they could photoshop their video
-- which they'll likely have.

Of course he'd have to land his chute..squares are highly maneuverable and braking is easy.

The three of 'em--Hume rech~~>> Norris puke & puke~~>> grand- theft-US-Treasury -Resources-Bush Sr. patti duke puke.

20. Bob Novak beat them to it

He made his parachute jump a few weeks ago. What is this with wingnuts and parachutes? If John Kerry did a jump, they'd think it was oh, so funny.
