I take it the author of this piece never heard of touch and goes. (Or the Air Force equivalent of them)
Understatement ;-)
For Gods sake maybe there was a deer on the runway, maybe he got waved off because of conflicting traffic, maybe there was a strong crosswind? BFD two whole approaches. Hey I know a lot of guys who can drive a boat ( and anyone can beach one). Not many guys can pilot a gas filled brick with wings.
This just sounds like touch and goes.
You can go to the Reserve base in Fort Worth...old Carswel...and see them do that every day.
I'm sick of thise non-military experts trying to evaluate military procedures. What they don't know and understand, they ass(ume) or just plain fabricate. The're nothing but dimwit pukes!
Didn't they take the F102 out of service near the end of his stint? I remember hearing it was too expensive to retrain the F102 pilots for another jet when they would be leaving soon, so there was nothing to do but hang around. Not surprising he would fly a trainer every now and then just to get some flying time in.
Wow.. Two approaches while in training on a complicated jet aircraft... maybe the admin moderator should put this in breaking news.. /sarcasm.
What a piece of cow dung this article is. Notice how it minimizes the fact that the See BS memos were most likely forgeries by levelling the missed approach charges at Bush.
When with these stupid AP writers ever learn that we are onto their tricks and obstructions?
Maybe these drooling morons have yet to hear of Blogs.
General pressured Killian in August 1973 memo.....of course the General had retired in 1972!!!
Thanks for the link, friend.
Yes.
Yeah, but McCain is a Rino so he gets a pass from the National Socialists.
This Just In: President Bush went through supermarket express lane with more than 15 items in 1974.
IMPEACH!
;-)
Oh good grief! A rejected landing is often the BEST decision a pilot could make. I know. I've made a few.
This is absolute armchair-fighter-pilot BS.
How do we ping the aviation list? I'm on it, but don't know the ping routine.
GRRRR.
Argh.
Next thing you know, he didn't file a flight plan.
