Quotes by Navy pilot John "Skip'' Lussier, who flew President G. W. Bush to the Lincoln, May 1, 2003

"The pressure was ratcheted up just a little bit, but I tried not to think about it, I just wanted to focus on it as a mission and make sure I got the president aboard safely. He (the President) was great. Once he got into the brief he just started remembering. It was a bonding of aviators. When we got into the plane, I gave him the stick and it was like he hadn't left the cockpit. That was certainly the first time for him, the first time for a sitting president, the first time an aircraft has been designated Navy One.

"It was just awesome."

$$$$$

And every American schoolchild should know that their President was a Texas Air National Guard JET PILOT during the Vietnam war. But noooo, our hateful media and NEA could not allow children to learn that.
