"If The President was missing from the Guard so much how did he learn to fly?" BINGO
Also I read that those type of jets were called "widow makers" as very twitchy to fly and land.
I think that is why were passed off to NATO "allies"....

Confirmation from Boobar...
All of the "Century Seies" (F-100 through F-106) were dangerous--the F-102 was probably neck-and-neck with the F-104 for most dangerous of the bunch

Over time, roughly 1 in 4 single engine Century series fighters crashed.
Bush had more "days flying" than Kerry had "days in country" ...
Kerry left EARLY from Vietnam: he had less than 90 days service. Then, after less than 3months duty (Dec-mid-Feb) he petitioned his CO to go home to an admiral's aide position in Boston. He claimed an "unwritten rule" that let men go home if they had 3 wounds.
THEN, Kerry had the nerve to LEAVE THAT DUTY early to "run for congress" in Massachusetts.
