Campbell, a 94-year-old woman from Williamsport, Penn., celebrated her recent birthday by jumping out of a plane alongside her granddaughter and great-granddaughter.

Four generations go skydiving for youngest's birthday
However, Campbell isn't the first to make skydiving a family affair: In 2014, four generations of one family all took the plunge together in honor of an 18-year-old's high school graduation, up to and including its 88-year-old patriarch. Former President George H.W. Bush also frequently celebrated his birthdays with a skydive, though his last was in 2014 at age 90.
