For Walt Starr: Something ELSE to look into about *'s TANG service..

[arbusto_baboso]

A fellow in my local area has written an online book that may be of interest to you.

Go to: www.phonyfighterpilot.com

The author cites Bush's lies about his TANG flight status on the U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY, and other official documents!!!

Combine this with the ribbon Shrubbie wasn't entitled to wear and....

Well, I'm sure you can think of something to do with the info.

3. Thanks...I caught this...

From his State Department Bio:

George W. was commissioned as a second lieutenant and spent two years on active duty, flying F102 fighter interceptors. For almost four years after that, he was on a part-time status, flying occasional missions to help the Air National Guard keep two of its F-102s on round-the-clock alert.


See my thread here for why this may be important:

5. Hey Walt --- Look at this...

Questions remain about President Bush's long-ago service in the Texas Air National Guard. But the basic outline of his Guard service is not in dispute: After a year in flight school, Bush spent five months learning how to fly an F-102 fighter-interceptor and then 22 months as a part-time pilot. He stopped flying in April 1972 -- 30 months before his formal commitment would normally have ended.

Nonetheless, the biography of Bush on the US State Department's website credits him with almost six years in the F-102's cockpit -- two years on active duty flying the plane and nearly four more years of part-time service as an F-102 pilot. The websites of at least five American embassies -- those in Germany, Italy, Pakistan, Vietnam, and South Korea -- use the identical language, even though Bush spent barely two years flying the airplane.
