Jumping out of a plane is certainly a memorable way to celebrate a 100th birthday.
Newly minted centenarian Tom Rice, who served in World War II as a paratrooper, wanted to recreate a parachute jump he did nearly 80 years ago.

Rice made the jump from a vintage plane in southern California to symbolize the D-Day invasion jump he made in Normandy, France.
“It’s unbelievable what you can view from up there,” Rice told KSWB-TV. “We do a lot of maneuvering up there. That was a lot of fun.”

He told the TV station he wants to jump from an even higher altitude for his birthday next year.
