[RVN Airplane Driver]

Yeah, I did a database search also and see the he has an amsel and instrument ticket that was awarded in 1986...so what. He is what is called by airline folks as a FLAP..light airplane pilot is the last 3 words. His whole tale indicates his ability level. First in a jet you only see 12,000 feet twice...once going to altitude and once coming back through for the approach..unless you are doing close air support. However for a FLAP lying 12000 feet is nose bleed territory...actually it is as high as you can go w/0 oxygen....hardly an altitude that a jet fighter would be working in...also...there is no pilot in the world that would let anyone touch the controls of an airplane that they are not being checked out in under 5000 ft...more like 10,000....let alone give them a T/O. Given his track record...he probably wasn't even in Israel, let alone begging for a ride in a fighter. As old "Mudbone" of Richard Pryor fame used to say "Damn that boy can lie; that was his job, I'm pretty sure that was his job, because that's all he did"

I think he got confused with the 360 he did when falling off his bike in front of a Jewish Deli.
