Bush skipped the last two years of his commitment. A lie. www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! weblog www.vivabush.org |

What happened? Did your scalp lose an argument with the prop? I wear a ball cap in lieu of sunglasses. With the bill forward, you can't see the aileron horn coming at you. I gained a new appreciation for low-wing aircraft, and for the college kids wearing their ball caps backwards. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! weblog www.vivabush.org |

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. Bush went into the ANG as an airman basic. After three months active duty for training he was commissioned 2nd Lt and assigned to the 111th TFS. It was indeed an accepted officer-training route in 1968. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! weblog www.vivabush.org |

Many officers were there because that was the only war we had at the time and war means promotions, officer or enlisted lifer. The laugh line among junior officers in Vietnam in 1964 was: "It's a lousy war, but it's the only war we've got!" all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! weblog www.vivabush.org |

A couple years ago, Art became a tired and tiresome old man. Too bad!
Art's ability to see that Bush is a complete disaster is a credit to him. Art -is- pretty pugnacious though. Walt |

ANG pilots were direct commissioned? All of them?
Walt He went through OTS. Bush went through OTS? That contradicts James Webb, who said he did not. Also -this- document -- released by Bush -- shows that he completed enlisted training on 9/3/68 and was commissioned a 2nd lt -- the very next day! http://users.cis.net/coldfeet/doc14.gif Bush got special treatment from first to last. His records have been sanitized and completed -after- he ducked out for two years. BUT there -is- a document extant that PROVES at least a 16 month gap in his service. Walt |

Actually the ANG calls it something different...at least they did in 1994
when I went through UPT with 4 Guardsmen. Little did they know that they were recieving special treatment. Please don't engage "Walt", he doesn't have a clue about the military or aviation and as such is not worth your time. IMHO, "Walt" is the worst troll I've seen here *ever*. At least Venik and the rest of the "Serb loonies" were discussing aviation related matters....fantasy aviation, but aviation none-the-less. BUFDRVR Bush -did-not- go through OTS or any other officer qualification program. http://users.cis.net/coldfeet/doc14.gif He was commissioned the day -- after-- he completed a basic airman course.

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. The F-106 had the same engine as the F-105, the J-75. Much larger engine http://www.f-106deltadart.com/j75-motor.htm |

"Bill Shatzer" wrote in message ... "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. They didn't use the same engine, the F-102A and the F-106A were both ruled but the F-106A had dry what the F-102A had with afterburning. F-102A: One Pratt & Whitney J57-P-23 turbojet, 10,200 lb.s.t. dry and 16,000 lb.s.t. with afterburning, or a J57-P-25, 11,700 lb.s.t. dry and 17,200 lb.s.t. with afterburning. F-106A: One Pratt & Whitney J75-P-17 turbojet, 17,200 lb.s.t. dry and 24,500 lb.s.t with afterburning. |
