I did find this clip about his flying on the web:


"I'm sorry to say -- that won't be able to beat Bush," said Elvis
Muhaabwa, 52. "Bush is a one-topic man. He's going to hammer it in our
ears. Even if it's not true, we will believe it."

"I understand you have to boil it down," Kerry said, his voice
ratcheting up. "But I'm here, talking to smart Democrats."

Afterward, Muhaabwa said, "After he leaves, he'll be thinking about what
I said."

That's where Muhaabwa was wrong. Because when Kerry left, he drove to
the airport and climbed into the pilot's seat of a twin-engine Cessna.
The cautious politician gave way to the other Kerry. This was Primal
John, the pilot who flies barrel rolls, who relaxes by windsurfing in a
squall, who ran with the bulls at Pamplona and, when trampled, got up,
chased the bull, and grabbed for its horns.

Now Kerry revved the plane's engines, clamped on his headset, cracked a
joke about the Red Sox and rumbled down the strip.

"This is Five Papa Juliet at 120 degrees, climbing to 7,500 feet," he
told the control tower as the ground dropped away.

As the tiny plane bumped and shook, he looked more and more relaxed.
Flying to his next campaign stop, he chatted about maneuvers to avoid
flak in combat.

The political flak he'd just taken was far from his mind. Throttle,
propeller, speed, fuel: Kerry was happily in the moment. He turned the
plane to dodge a threatening cloud. There were no ambiguities. It was
simple.

Kerry apparantly once was. Tells some flying stories in his bio... Not
sure when or if he dropped out.

Does anyone know if Wesley Clark was ever a pilot?
What do people here think of the General?

In case you missed it he's running for President.
