Come to think of it, the only pilots I know of that talk about
hours like they mean anything are student pilots and recently

crusty old 20,000+ pilots.



So how many hours does Dubya have as PIC?
That's what we're talking about.




so, which are you, a student pilot or a newly minted private
pilot?

No, that's what you seem to think military pilots talk about. They don't,
can't you understand that. I know several myself, NOT ONE of them talk
about how many hours they have.

They talk about flying, just like most pilots do, but then I suppose you
measure your manhood by your PIC hours and assume everybody else does?

How old are you anyhow?

This is a trick question... you want him to answer in hours don't you? =D

If you don't want to talk about find another thread, but name calling's
old and tired. Some jocks brag about hours, it gets discussed pretty
regularly by others. Talk to an insurance agent sometime they'll want to know
how many hours. Go to an interview for a pilot job. Guess what? They'll
want to know how many hours.


But for Dubya the numbers of hours is salient and interesting because I'll
bet he has very few hours but just enough to say he was a military pilot.
But how many as PIC? Maybe his hours were in a TF-102.

If you don't like the discussion move along. If you don't have a point
or counterpoint then just find another topic.

....because you wish to criticize his military service, possibly in the
name of providing information to support a theory that he wasn't
"really" a military pilot, but traded on it anyway to get office.

So? What, fighter jets with guns are the only airplanes that make a
pilot a military pilot?

Face it: He was a military pilot. Anyone to flies a military trainer
solo is a military pilot. And the conceit offends all of the *good*
pilots in the Materiel Command. You wish to say those people are also
not "real pilots"?

Good gravy. Bush has more hours total in a faster and more complex
airplane than me, and they call *me* a pilot. He had scads more time
in military service than I ever did, and the Air Force gave *me* an
honorable discharge, and called me "military" the whole time I was
enlisted.

Beyond a very thin veneer of partisan political bickering, your case
just doesn't stand up.
