This week, George McGovern will celebrate his 88th birthday in a big way -- the former presidential candidate says he's inspired by his friend (and famous skydiver) George H.W. Bush! McGovern served as a combat pilot for the Army in WWII and while he had some close calls, he never had to jump from a plane. That changes this week as he gets in a tandem suit (invented by Bill Booth) and marks an amazing 88 years.
