Better hope Bush doesn't decide to show up in his rented flight suit and
TFR!
Bush's F-102 flight instructor -- a crusty, old, 270 pound former judo
instructor -- is quoted in this week's Newsweek as saying that "Bush was in
the top 5% of fighter pilots he's ever trained..."
Newsweek also reports that Bush inquired about being transferred to Viet Nam
for combat duty, and was told that (a) the F-102 in which he was rated and
current was considered obsolete for combat operations, and (b) he had too
few flight hours. Thus, his inquiry was rejected.
Sounds like old GW is more legit than some of you like to believe...
