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.


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?????
