And he earned the “handle” Ace because crashed four of his planes, and was shot down once. He also ranked third from the bottom, not in the bottom third, at the USNA. But he is still a hero in my book.

Don't forget firing a missile from a parked plane on the deck of a carrier.

I suppose that's alright as long as he hit his intended target.

I'm no McCain fan, but it was his jet that was hit by the malfunctioning Zuni rocket on the Forrestal.

I think that one is still suspect. His resume is complete.
