What? He landed the F-16 in his relatives' back yard?
This is a hallowed tradition and the way pilots have kept sharp since 1905. Wedding in St. Louis? A low pressure light will come on. You land in St. Louis. Take a cab to the wedding. You come back the next day, and everything checked out. Fly back home. The wedding time is not logged. The flying time is logged. Any questions?
Did you know that a golf bag will fit in the back seat of a T-33? Did you also know that John McCain was one of the worst pilots the Navy ever released from flight school over the objections of his instructors ... who of course were never heard from again ... and were last seen refurbing mess kits in 29 Palms? That he got lost many times ... over the Chesapeake? That if you total up the aircraft he destroyed, he could well be Hanoi's last ace?
What did a plane cost in 1905???
“That if you total up the aircraft he destroyed, he could well be Hanoi’s last ace?”
Are you aware that with that one line, you blew your chances to ghost write McPain’s book about his flyin’ exploits?
