Ya the CAG had to wave her off after he noticed her broom didn't have a tailhook.....

Actually, they knew Hillary!'s lard @ss would sink the ship faster than the Titantic.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Pace yourself Doc, you don't want to run out of liberal idiots. :-D

He is the #1 pilot from the Viking Shamrock Squadron at North Island -- best pilot they have and one of the top 10 pilots of tailhook including the F-18's etc.

[ewing]

Is that after she writes 'Surrender Dorothy' in the sky while in the hot air baloon?

[Guenevere]

I'm exhausted.

This arrival has worn me out!

Naptime for me....!!

[dansangel]

I just got here and I'm following you around the thread gathering pics! LOL!!!!

For once, I *HATE* not being near a TV....

[ohioWfan]

Oh, man, that view from above with all the colors around the President is fabulous!

I hope there are some still pics of it!

[jriemer]

Dr - There's going to be a long list of very small people that you're going to say "Eat THIS FistN LastN" 8^)

It brings to mind that scene from INDEPENDENCE DAY where the POTUS leads a squadron of F18s into battle.

I said the same thing this morning!! I remember watching ID and thinking..."That's what we need!" I felt like the Clinton Administration was an alien force invading our country!

[nicmarlo]

mine too!

[BallandPowder]

Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

As he stripped out of the flight suit he should have straightened his tie and said "Bush...President Bush.." ala Bond...

[FourtySeven]

LOL

[Cordova Belle]

People have gathered around my cubicle, laughing at this one!!!!!

[judicial meanz]

I love the style Theodore Roosevelt set as a President, and always have.

I think I just witnessed a new Teddy Roosevelt emerge in American History. I love it!

[Lysander]

[goodnesswins]

LOL.....TOO MUCH chocolate!!!! Happy nappy.

[ohioWfan]

Have some chocolate first! :o)

It should be a law that every one of those pics taken on that carrier MUST be posted on FR within a week after landing.

These are great...

[Spook86]

Many thanks...during my AF crew dog days, I was always in the back, so I didn't get a chance to see too many landings, except out the side/paratroop door (EC-130s). Of course, there's a big difference in landing on a fixed runway, and putting an aircraft down on a carrier. I have the utmost respect for naval aviators, although there's still something inherently wrong about a runway that moves....BTW, during my days as an instructor at the Air Force's Air Command and Staff College, I had a student who was an Air Force One Co-Pilot for Bill--and he actually liked the guy. Probably the reason he made Major below-the-zone and went to school in residence.....
