Really cool. A trap AND a catapult launch!

[alisasny]

I am sitting here thinking of BJclintons legacy and all the comes to mind is the oval office sink.....YIKES....

[Quilla]

Double what?? I was responding to jackbill's comment in 159:

A Navy Commander on board the Lincoln said, a few minutes ago on CNN, that as soon as the President lands he will be hooked up to the catapult for another go-around. That's going to be something to see.

[hchutch]

If he didn't, then he WILL catch hell.

Mr. President, buzz the tower. Make it REALLY worth the butt-chewing if Big Time is right...

[justshe]

That is absolutely AWESOME that he gets to 'play'.....!

[Dog]

Can you get us some screen captures..

[Wphile]

What? He's going to do a launch too?

[Howlin]

But.....but......but...it looks so TINY.

So, President Bush, you've just won a major victory in the war against terror. What are you going to do?

Pres. Bush: "I'm going to Disney and ride on Space Mountain. . . oh forget that lame nonsense, I'm gonna trap me a three wire on an aircraft carrier and maybe get fired off the cat a few times like those folks who just liberated Iraq."

[Ceoman]

How can we get this live via the Internet..anyone??

[eyespysomething]

This aircraft is a 4 seater. As announced it is the pilot, W, crew member, secret service agent. Where is the football??? To my knowledge, it has never been carried by the President or the SS.

Really? WOW. What a day for him.

[goodnesswins]

Woo hoo.....flight suit.....so great to have a REAL MAN with CHARACTER (and a flight suit that he looks good in) as our President.

[Howlin]

Is that the truth, he's going to land, launch and land again??? George W. Bush?

[Mo1]

***GOD I LOVE THIS***

This is just too cool!!

[nicmarlo]

Today.....must be like a little boy in a candy store moment for him. And, thank you God, he deserves this.

Yes....what a gift for him. Amen, thank you God...keep him SAFE!
