“This was the story of Kara Hultgreen, the Navy pilot who died in a 1994 F-14 crash. Investigation showed that Hultgreen had been allowed to proceed in her training after errors that would have meant a washout for any male pilot.
*******************************************|*********
The INCOMPETENT PILOT JOHN MCCAIN was not washed out. Perhaps the fact that his father and grandfather were admirals had something to do with it.”

“The same was not true of the McCain collision. I think they blamed it on an 18 year old who did not know how to work the equipment properly.”

This was only one McCain case. Over his career he lost FIVE aircraft but still kept his wings.

I was talking about the USS McCain collision. Sorry for not writing the name of the ship.
