Kerry is a pilot?

I was watching MSNBC recently and learned that John Kerry, a democrat, is a
certified pilot, I saw a quick episode of him flying a plane in left seat.
There is no way to recognize what kind of plane, but it is definitely a low
wing. Just wanted to share what I saw.

Yup.

Let's put someone in the White House who can talk sense to the Secret
Service and homeland security wackos about general aviation.

Well, there's at least one redeeming quality. However, I think he's
probably a highwinger in drag. I just can't imagine him in the Whitehouse
at this moment in history any more than I could imagine Algore there.

Thanks for that info, Toks. Definitely raises my opinion of Kerry.

That's the problem we have these days. Everyone knows Bush was AWOL during
his National Guard days, and then he goes on to to wear a flight suit and
some people think he is a great leader. Today Ed Gillespie was just stunned
that anyone would say that about Bush.

But, it is the truth. Everyone knows it too.

It's amazing what people as the basis of picking their exalted leaders! :~(

So, Kerry's voting record is consistent (or even occasionally)
supportive of aviation or GA?

Kerry is a class warrier, what do you think?

Not everyone. Not my a long shot. While he did seem to shirk some
responsibilities, the record is not quite clear on exactly what happened.
However, he *was* a youngun. I might have done a stupid thing or twenty in
my younger years, too.

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030411.html seems to be a fairly decent
accout of what actually happened but leave much to interpretation.

and then he goes on to to wear a flight suit and
some people think he is a great leader.

'Cause he is . . . But history will have to be the final judge to that, I
reckon.

It is impossible to be AWOL from the National Guard, as drill attendance was
optional.

I think it is cool that the President got a little stick time.
