Kickin' TU ass since the 60's. ;o)

The US archives and retired colonel William Kampenii, Mr. President’s fellow soldier since 1970 till 1971 have proved this fact.

I thought he never showed up for duty?
Thats what Dan Blather told us, was he telling us a lie?
Again?

SONOBUOY PING!

This one really isn't Navair related, but I thought some of you other Cold Warriors would be as interested in this as I was. It's easy for us to forget that Bear Chicken wasn't just a Navy game.

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Wow, the Russians just figured this out? What did they think the F-106 was, a fluffy bunny?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Actually they trained to intercept whatever the Russians sent out of Cuba, but it was most likely the TU-95. Active USAF and ANG planes frequently intercepted these planes during the Cold War in various places along the Gulf and East Coast.

And all this time I thought that he was AWOL!

Somebody should send this to the MSM, I’m sure they’ll want to correct the record.

George Bush J. reminisces in his autobiography A Charge To Keep

Its George W. Bush, not George Bush J.

[mkjessup]

It’s always amused me to consider how the media would have spun the respective military records of George W. Bush and John F. Kerry if their roles had been reversed, it would have sounded something like this:

“Lt. John F. Kerry served in the Massachusetts Air National Guard, specially trained in the highly dangerous F-102 Interceptor, a plane which required precision skill as a pilot, and Lt. Kerry was prepared at all times to intercept Soviet nuclear bombers, had World War III begun with a surprise strike from Moscow. Lt. Kerry was on the front lines of the Cold War, performing a dangerous task, and all of America should be grateful.”

“Meanwhile, Lt. George W. Bush was engaging in questionable military escapades in Vietnam, receiving combat decorations for what can be described at best as ‘exaggerated wounds’, and then-Lt. Bush freely admitted that he had knowledge of fellow servicemen behaving like barbarians, committing war crimes and atrocities which any civilized nation should be ashamed of. While it is uncertain what Lt. Bush’s true views on the Vietnam war were at that time, it is certain that he violated the Logan Act when he traveled to Paris France to engage in private negotiations with the Communists, and to this day it is not known what was discussed. Such an individual who shows such disregard for international law, for the laws of the United States, who has such a disregard for human decency, has no business seeking the Presidency of the United States.”

Yep, I think it would have sounded something like that.

Didn't locate a photo of a F-106 like Bush's shadowing a Bear -- but this F-102 is -- at least -- another delta-wing interceptor doing the same job...

There...fixed it.
