Don,

I'm not sure I'd trust Rove to tell me the sun came up in the east.
sigh

Probably covering up for the fact that Enron provided its various
corporate jets for Bush to use during his campaigns for governor and
in the presidential primaries.

But, otherwise, Bush shows as having a commercial, multi and
instrument, but he has never shown much interest in general aviation
flying. He does not have a current medical. Kind of strange that for
a guy who was supposedly a gung-ho pilot, he's never shown any
interest in flying Air Force One, yet the other pilot-president,
Eisenhower, did so.

I'm also curious as to why he has never produced his Form-5s to show
whether he did any flying when he was supposedly with the Alabama
Guard or was just AWOL while his countrymen were getting killed or
getting decorated for heroism in Viet Nam.

All the best,
Rick

With their military
Form 5 (as I recall) and the test results, they went to the FSDO and got a
civilian license. I doubt that GWB went to that trouble.


I recall Karl Rove telling a story about flying in a 172 with Bush some time
after the begiining of their work to together on his campaign for governor of
TX, so he was a civilian pilot at one point.

Unless he had is certificate revoked for some infraction, all he would need to
fly now would be a current Class 3 physical and a BFR.

And some way to evade the Secret Service.
