The F-102's were being decomissioned and sent to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan during that time period -- you are correct.

BTW, the squadron that Pres Bush was a member of now flies F-16's and were the fighter escort for AF One for part of the trip to Offut. They handed off escort duty to the Tulsa ANG for the remainder of the trip to Offut. So much for the ANG not being military.

Pres Bush was on active duty during pilot training and went through the same exact training that every Air Force pilot goes through before earning their wings. They are not going to turn over a plane to someone who shows up occasionally!

Scratching head? Yes it's always been that way did I say something that made you think I didn't know that? I see the group practicing low level whenever I fly down that way. I couldn't remember whether Bush flew 102 or 106's but I knew it was one of the old delta wing interceptors. The unit was going to F4's at the time his tour was ending and yes they have F16's now.
