Kerry's coming to OSH

Kerry and Edwards have both already requested Secret Service protection. Kerry
already has it, Edwards either does nor shortly will.

I asked AOPA if this meant for TFRs. For now they are saying "no" and they don't
even know if the Democratic candidate will generate TFRs after the convention. Aso
somebody else pointed out, there's pretty much guaranteed to be a TFR in place for
the convention itself. The SS even wants to shut down one of Boston's two major
commuter train terminals (North Station) and the Expressway because of their
proximity to the Fleet Center where the convention will be held.

I was wondering at what point secret service kicked in for potential
candidates.. wouldnt that be the epitome of irony...

A no fly zone at Osh.. just like the no fly zone at FFA...

About the worst thing Bush could do to Kerry at that point would be to set it
up so that Kerry gets TFRs while he's campaigning.

A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that
you look forward to the trip.

Okay, this guy can't be all bad. He's ridden a motorcycle to Milwaukee,
*and* he's flown into OSH?

I may not like his politics, but at least he's got his priorities
straight!

Taxing all you rich, *******, airplane owners?

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...

They sent a detachment of 4-6 F-102's to VN on rotation from Japan.
The 'Duce' was built to attack bombers and not fighters and was not a
dog fighting aircraft.

Several were destroyed at Da Nang, where they were based, during a
sapper attack. They never came close to shooting down any MIGS.

Were withdrawn after less than a year.

Sounds good. Then why did he stop flying? I'm still a low-time
pilot, but I can't imagine suddenly stopping flying and, to all
appearances, not thinking about it again.

If he wanted to fly, why didn't he attempt to get training in
something that was being flown more?

Perhaps. But there's a lotta odd dangling ends of things. Too many
inconsistencies for my personal taste.

Agree 100%. But I've known a fair number of people who have learned to fly,
flown for a while, and then quit. Some were even aircraft owners, which
meant they had REALLY gone down the aviation rabbit-hole.

I have no idea how they can do it -- or why. But I'll admit I never quite
trust them again after I find out they were "once" pilots.
