Your question has been answered Ron - you just do not like the answer.

Guest AR282 - "He was a bad pilot. Barely passed the entrance exam (25 out of 100). He got qualified on an F-102 and was certified combat ready in 1970 while serving in Houston." Guest AR282, reasonable, impartial and totally objective as you no doubt believe yourself to be, why did you not also include GWB's training officer's opinion of his performance at OTU which put him in the top 5% of his fellow pilots. Also no mention of how difficult the F-102A was to fly - indication - take a look at the casualty figures for that type of aircraft. My apologies, but your post, so admired by Amos, was complete and utter drivel.
