He must have been in one of those realistic $5.00 per-ride flight simulators that you find at airshows.

If so, that means I've flown a combat mission and protected an American aircraft carrier from certain destruction.

Where's my medal?

[BykrBayb]

If he wants to impress me, he should paddle half way across.

[BykrBayb]

By any chance, it wasn't named Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, was it?

[O Neill]

...he made a loop at about 12,000 feet.

What was he doing...knitting?

[Finalapproach29er]

The need to include this constant subtle bragging is a sign of massive insecurity.

He is not leadership timber.

[RightOnline]

"He flew over Israel so he's what? More qualified to lead the nation? More Jewish than Bush?"

Our first black, Jewish president perhaps??

[oyez]

I was wondering if he had dropped acid while in Israel.

[Texasforever]

Color me skeptical.

[SkyPilot]

he imitated the Israeli's accent very badly.

He actually mimicked the Israeli???

It's Top Gun Johnny now!

[Arizona Pard]

Subtle bragging? If that was subtle then the Grand Canyon is a subtle sign of erosion...oh, wait, I get it. It's sarcasm. D'OH!

And I didn't know Ka-Ree, the French-looking wannabee, could fly. You'd think he'd have bragged about that before now.

[texasflower]

Yes, he did. You know how Ariel Sharon speaks?

That's the accent his was trying to mimmick.

I'm replaying the speech on c-span right now to find out exactly where it is.

I'll ping you to it when I find it.

[PokeyJoe]

Quick, somebody with Lexus/Nexus do a search and verify, and also look for a link with Senator Al Gore regarding the "creation" of the internet. =)

[Salman]

Yes, he did. You know how Ariel Sharon speaks?

Kerry sounded like bad imitation Jackie Mason.

[texasflower]

Yes! That's it exactly!

[texasflower]

Here you go..

It is the speech entitled "Senator Kerry address to the Anti-Defamation League".

That story is 22 minutes into the video.

As Salman said in post 96 it was like a bad Jackie Mason, if you know who that is.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" I can tell you as a ex-military pilot "

Kerry is supposed to be 6'6", IIRC. Would he even fit in the cockpit of a fighter jet ?
The story defies all credibility.
Kerry claims to fly a twin engine Cessna ,owned by Teresa.
13 years ago, he would have had even less experience.
It won't be long before Kerry will claim to be a Blue Angel.

I wonder if Teresa lets Kerry fly her G 5, since he's such an ace ??
