MN Woman Skydives On 90th Birthday
Baldwin, Wis. (AP) A Minnesota woman who wanted to match former President George H.W. Bush's birthday skydive marked her 90th birthday Sunday with an airplane jump of her own.

Aileen Fritsch of Maplewood leapt out of the plane here, attached to a skydiving instructor.

She said she decided to make the jump after seeing the 41st President skydive on his 80th birthday earlier this month. Fritsch said she's a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and didn't want to let the Republican get ahead of her.

The jump and landing went just fine.

Fritsch said there wasn't anything to it -- she just stepped out of the plane. "I haven't been afraid of anything so far in this world," she said.
