Yup he was in the cockpit when a Sidewinder accidentally fired from another plane hit his on the Forrestal, July 1969. I think it was A-4 Skyhawk he was in. He wrecked more planes than anybody in his squadron, hence the tag "Ace".
Now I also believe he is entitled to be goofy after what he went through as a POW, but I don't want him near any major decision process of Government!
