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.

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.

Oh please...
Not much different than a standard incentive ride given to many military
personnel.

So how many people were in that airplane, anyhow?
Must have been awfully crowded.

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.

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

He also has a single- and multi-engine "commercial" rating from the
FAA. www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm

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.

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.
