"Frank is wittering on about flight schools and about learning to be a pilot - mid-1972 remember.

Having qualified as operational in Delta Dagger F-102A fighter aircraft in July 1970 - why would GWB be required to attend flight school?"

Never said he was required. He volunteered for flight school but didn't follow through.


"In May 1972 he did not need to learn to be a pilot he was one already - combat rated to boot, just go and find out what that means Frank."

The reason he got into flight school to begin with was to
avoid enlisting in the overseas service. If he was so qualified,
why did he avoid this service? Answer: To go to Harvard Business School. And if he was so qualified as a pilot, how come he got grounded?


" The ANG sent him to Montgomery AFB where there were no F-102 Squadron's or aircraft. The aircraft type had already started being withdrawn from service by the ANG in 1969. So when his flying medical came due in the summer of 1972, just what was he going to fly?"

That's the point. He could follow through on helping his friend's candidacy in Alabama and avoid the whole deal. It was clever evasion.

The wittering you mention doesn't sound like it's coming from this quarter.
