"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in The F-102A was area ruled. I had thought that was exactly the problem with the F-102; that it was NOT area ruled. My quick and dirty reference (the one which most readily falls to hand) indicates that the F-102 had a max speed of 825 mph with a J57-P engine, The F-106 is listed with a max speed of 1,530 mph with the the same J57-P engine. Something has to be going on there with the aerodynamics to account for an 85% increase in speed with essentially the same engine producing essentially the same thrust. -- "Cave ab homine unius libri" |

: Probably not since OCS is Army, not Air Force. Next you will be telling us he never went to UPT either. Did not/does not the Air Force have some sort of equivalent to OCS? One that prospective second lieutenants go through? Probably more than one at the time.

Didn't the 102 have the downward firing ejection seat that made low-level ejections, er, problematic? Nah, it was "up and out" on the F-102. But it wasn't equipped with the "zero/zero" ejection seats that today's aircraft have - so low level ejections -were- problematic. But then, F-102s tended to spend very little time at low altitudes. Take offs and landings were pretty much the extent of that. -- "Cave ab homine unius libri" |

Did not/does not the Air Force have some sort of equivalent to OCS? One that prospective second lieutenants go through? Walt Sure, it's OTS. Does it matter how Bush got his butter bars? The fact remains he did. And kept them. And made it through flight school without killing himself or anybody else. Or do you claim they just gave him his wings and pointed him at the flight line? Wouldn't surprise me if thats your next claim. And even if that was, by some warp of reality, what actually happened he was at least able to fly a complex high performance airplane on a number of occasions without any formal instruction. I would think you'd be impressed with that level of ingenuity.

ink.net: "WalterM140" wrote in message ... Bush skipped out on the last two years of his commitment. That's one problem. The record indicates you're wrong. Again. Well I think its safe to say that the only record those bozos are interested in is broken and just keeps repeating the same old off-key passage again and again and again.

Your reading comprehension is faulty as well as your intellect. Read the Ed Rasimus post carefully and note who DCs were intended for. Note also that your notion of what OCS involved isn't even close.
