As CIC, Bush commands Naval Aviators to make carrier traps every day of the week. It is not unreasonable that he should bear some of the same risk.

I agree. This is a way for him to show respect to the men and women who do this daily. Short of coming under enemy fire, I can think of few more dangerous situations.

If it's a pubblicity stunt, it's aimed to impress the Armed Forces. That's OK by me.

I agree -and "Broker " said it all- COD aircraft deliver
"guests" all the time, the S3 I guess was picked because
it is a warplane.When I served (VF51) every cruise-
we lost an airplane - so there is some danger.

By the way, the use to entice lowly airmen to re-enlist
with a catapult shot and landing.
