OMG. I'm so excited I'm about to pop. How kewl is this.

[Howlin]

Attention: This will be the Live Thread for the speech tonight......I'll ping you before the speech starts!"

No sense in starting another one!

My husband's Dad had his own plane and used to have his pilot fly me up to West Point. One time on the way home the pilot let me take the controls. It was so cool. I can just imagine how cool it will be for our ultra-cool President in a Viking!

The CBS feed is much better:

A minute ago, Howlin, on the Lincolncam I just heard a bunch of guys laughing...wonder if it's the reporters or our excited military??? : )

He keeps forgetting he is taller than the door is!!!!

It's because the closest *they* will ever come to seeing something like this involving "one of theirs" is when "Air Force One" reruns on TBS.

They have no real heroes.

Their jealousy makes them go mad(der)......:)

NO FAIR!!!!! Distraction on aisle 604. LOL.

[M Kehoe]

Thanks for the ping. I'm cubicle challenged.

I'm lost. What's up with your tag line?

Sorry, if I'm out of line.

An inflight web cam would have been a nice touch.

[Dead Dog]

Watching Brave Heart is like watching the democrats in '04. Just think of the Dems as heavy cav.

[Interesting Times]

Man, the libs have got to be HATING this. ;-) YEEHAW!

About what you'd expect.

They insist he wasn't really a pilot, and that he went AWOL from the National Guard.

Some hope to see him die.

#618...I've got my own leftover Easter candy, lady :))))

[finnman69]

the footage live from the carrier is so kewl.

[Carolinamom]

We're all flying vicariously w/Bush as we man our puters!

[quark]

Sometimes Blue Bellies do exchange tours with the real air force -- Navy Air!
