Yeah, so did McLame! < /s>
This fella Makes McLoser look like one of those pugilistic people who keep getting demoted to Private for various infractions. This guy really pulled a boner writing this editorial.
Jeez, I don’t know what you have against a pilot that crashed by flying into power lines, crashed again off Spain while clowning around (claimed engine quit, accident board found that his throttle setting was too low for the turn he was attempting), and crashed a jet trainer on his way to a college football game. And his wife left him when his numerous extramarital affairs got back to her.
This guy destroyed more aircraft through bad flying than he ever shot down in the war, I don’t call that a successful career. There’s not a former colleague anywhere that will submit that John was even a mediocre pilot. The best they can say about him is that had guts. My take is that he had such a poor level of pilot knowledge that most times, he was never aware that he should’ve been scared. Getting shot down in ‘Nam was the best thing that ever happened to him. That fact automatically makes you a jerk if you criticize his very poor war record. Fine, I’m a jerk and I’m not scared to tell it like it is.
