Now, now. McCain was one the very few Cold War aces. Burned up, shot down in, destroyed, crashed, or ejected from 5 US Navy planes.

Five U.S. plane crashes suggests he was a pretty crappy pilot who advanced through the nepotism of his CINCUSNAVEUR father, I admire his willingness to serve, but despise McCain’s lack of character and moral introspection,

I think he was just an ensign when he destroyed his first aircraft in the Gulf Mexico while involved in horseplay.
