They say you can always tell a fighter pilot, you just can't tell him much. Here's a picture of the aircraft Bush flew while in the ANG. It was a Convair F-102A of which 875 where built at a cost of $1,184,000 each.
It had a single Pratt & Whitney J57 engine with 16,000 Lbs of thrust with afterburner. It had a cruising speed of 600 mph, a top speed of 810 mph and a range of 1,000 miles. It was an interceptor built to counter Soviet bombers should they attack the United States.
Bush has released all his military papers. All of Bush's papers rate him as a pilot from excellent to outstanding.
I'm sure the Bush haters will still continue on. My advice to them is, get counseling. You need it.
