Can you pilot an F102 Fighter Jet ? ?

George Bush could, and he attained an expert flying record piloting the most complicated
jet fighter plane ever made in its time (during the 1960's). There were very few pilots who
were qualified to fly this "state-of-the-art" jet during the late 1960's.

The reason he did not see action in Vietnam was due to the phasing out of the F102 jet in
the late '60s. If this Jet fighter was to see action in Vietnam in 1970, you can bet your ass
that George Bush would have been deployed there.

I know all this for a fact, since I was in the US AIR FORCE during the 1960's, stationed at a
large SAC (Strategic Air Command) base....that had a Squadron of F102's and B52 bombers.

Boy, it is amazing how many "liberals" here are totally uninformed.
