Eleanor Cunningham of Howes Cave, New York, has bested former US President George HW Bush.
He celebrated his 90th birthday by skydiving; she made the big leap to mark her centennial.

Cunningham kissed her seven-month-old great-great-granddaughter before suiting up for her 100th birthday jump on Saturday at Saratoga Skydiving in Gansevoort (GANZ'-voort). It was her third jump, after taking up the sport at age 90.

Cunningham lives with her granddaughter in their Schoharie (skoh-HAYR'-ee) County home in central New York. Her doctor signed off on the skydiving expedition, saying her health makes her more than capable of doing what she loves.

Dean McDonald of Saratoga Skydiving says Cunningham is his oldest jump partner yet.
