Excerpt:
On the way to his infamous landing on an aircraft carrier, Bush toyed with
his Secret Service agent by intentionally shaking the plane from side to
side and then nosing downward so sharply they lifted out of their seats.

I wonder....did the Hoover keep on plummeting to the glossy blue or did
the "real" qualified Hoover driver wrestle the controls from Dubya who
didnt know left from right and climb from dive?..
What is a unqualified naval pilot such as Bush doing anyway at the
control of a naval aircraft ...furthermore... he isnt even qualified
on..... that is a question one needs to ask.
__________________________________________________ ___________________
Note additionally, George Bush has done more in last 3 years to
encourage arabs n muslims to hate us in the West then anyone before
him......one hand bush is claiming to stop terrorism and other hand he
promotes it.. so what does he want????
Cant have it both ways now... Mr Bush himself is a terrorist leader..
his forces in Iraq are killing n wounding civil and innocent people
....just like his predcessor Johnson did in vietnam...
For those apologists who support bushs way... imagine if a country
attacked - say Brazil - the US and many innocents were killed..in street
fighting trying to escape a invading force...
you think anyone would care???.. i wouldnt... its in a area of the world
where there is oil...
if so you think anyone should??.. name a reason? they are only terrorist
scum if they are wounded...
Anyone killed or injured would only be labelled a terrorist supporter
....
Anyone notice similarities already? israel vs arabs, irish vs british
etc etc.... such as is the treatment civil iraqis are getting from the
US n allies at the moment... see when you reverse the situ there is no
difference at all...
Bush's latest song is as ...
1,2,3,4, We dont give a damn cause "insert a name of a future US
military person who will die...resulting from a combat death" ..gona
die in Iraq for my oily hands.... / cut to smiling dumb smut mug pose of
Bush....
Also discussing Dubya flying the F-102 in the early 70s....Bush did
leisure cruises over the Gulf of Florida..... shooting down drones such
as AGM-34s.
Real brave Mr Bush.... while "real men" flew in Vietnam with the ANG in
various roles, he hung his ass out to dry in the most safe seat he could
find... well that is until bush skipped the training and roll calls...
for political work..

Good for him! It's about time that the SS got some thrills from the
Pres. They have GOT to be the most uptight of all the federal
bearucracies!
It sounds as if he gave them a zero-G ride!

An idiot like you may have to ask it, but others seem quite happy as is.
FYI, I can remember being rotated through the right seat of a C-123K and
being allowed to control it as a freakin' teenaged CAP cadet, along with a
bevy of other cadets; so stop acting as if you have discovered another
element of your great GWB Conspiracy Theory here.

I wonder about your wondering. Are you really that big of a left wing
stooge? Flying is so easy even you could do it.

Every day thousands of unqualified naval aviators take the controls of
airplanes, and even fly them solo. Go take a trip to Pensacola and watch
them fly over you all day long. It ain't that hard. He's a jet pilot. Do
your research.

Have you overlooked the fact that George W. Bush is a rated USAF
pilot, graduate of USAF undergraduate pilot training and then
qualified in a single-seat, single-engine operational jet?
Setting any AF pilot in the right seat of a modern aircraft and giving
him/her control is no great stretch. Fiddling around and toying with
the IP is the most likely thing a fighter pilot will do, and is even
more likely when you've gone cross-service and the other guy is
quaking in his boots at the responsibility he's been given.
And, your aviation qualification?????

No its not a question one needs to ask. But here are two answers anyway:
1. He's the Commander In Chief.
2. He's a qualified and trained USAF pilot, so its not like he doesn't know
anything about aircraft.

Just for the sake of accuracy, let's just concede that he WAS a
qualif............etc. instead of is. Spoken from experience, I guarantee that
you can get pretty damned rusty after 30+ years out of the saddle. (^-^)))

I have seen enlisted men in the right seat of KC-135s and C-130s in flight.
Flying right seat in calm weather with a qualified pilot in the left seat isn't
that hard. Having said that I have gotten slapped around in the boomer's
compartment when the right seater was flying so I guess the hard part is doing
it well.
In any event Bush was at one time a fully qualified interceptor pilot. I didn't
see anyone fuss when Clinton steered the big Navy boat. He can't claim to have
ever been qualified to do so. In both cases it was a courtesy extended to the
Commander in Chief.

Indeed it is, if you don't have to land the thang or take it into
combat.

That's the "military competence" provision. If you receive a military
pilot rating, you can go down to the local FAA office and complete a
short exam on FARs. They give you a commercial rating single and
multi-engine (C/L thrust) and instrument rating. No check flights
required. If you can show a form five (or whatever the time log is
now) qualification in an airplane with separated engines they'll take
off the C/L limitation and even issue a type rating. I've got Convair
240/340/440 on mine since I was forced to checkout in the T-29.

Ed,
Be thankful you got it the easy way. You could have gotten it on the old
Overland South, Mather-Tuolomne-Bakersfield-Kingman and back...6.1 hours
complete, three or four days a week!
You got to do it with the studly Wing wienies!

My memory of the stories at the time is three.
The pilot, the President and one secret service guy.

To bad George did not have the same fun dancing over downtown
Hanoi.Oops I forgot he was having fun defending the US of A from an
air attack from the Mexican Air Force. Well, I guess that's another
yarn for another day.
Well, I don't know about anyone else but I am sure as hell glad all
major combat operations are over in Iraq, I was worried we were going
to get in a real shooting war for a while.
More boots on the ole proverbial ground, hell we don;t need them, we
just have to hire some more private contractors, and the dead enders
and thugs will be gone in no time.
Lastly, after 911 the primary theatre of operations should have been
Afghanistan and the outlaw regions of Pakistan, not Iraq. Bin Laden
and his band of murders never (until recently) had a foothold in Iraq,
but they sure as hell, have one today, not only in Afghanistan but
Iraq as well.
How in the hell, do you invade and occupy the WRONG country.

I seem to recall a flight down to the Bahamas where I let an old USAF type
handle the controls for the first time in 20 years or more. Within just a
couple of minutes he was holding heading within 5 degrees and altitude within 50
feet. I will admit the resulting landing required getting the landing gear
serviced.
But straight and level flying? Must be like riding the proverbial bike...

When was SAC,MAC or TAC service ever a political appointment?
The funny thing about military outsourcing is it is the only case I
know of where the outsourcing costs more than the in-house employees.
However, having the contractors do the beating and killing of
prisoners does give the US cover.

Well put, Ed. Frankly, I'll bet the maneuver did a lot to ease the tension
of that poor O-4 in the left seat. Might've even been the thing that turned
what looked like a sure bolter to that 4-on-the-fly pass.
Man, was I surprised when they trapped!
