thanks to skippy for pointing me here to Mother Jones. Great timeline on President TheG-ForcesSquishedMyBrain and his alleged "honorable" service. As sad as it sounds, I had the responsibility of administratively separating Men who were more productive than him. Their problems were usually related to drugs; oh yeah his was too. I forgot.

My favorite quote from the timeline:

"They could sense I would be one of the great pilots of all time." Houston Chronicle, August 1988

Bwhahahahahaha

If you are generous in figuring that President SquishedBrain flew 200 Hours per year for a total of about 400 hours in the F-102 after he got his wings, which would have meant that he actually had a stick in his hand other than the one in his pants, he would have had to have flown every drill weekend (once a month. two days long), and then his two-week commitment each year, let's be generous and give him one in each year 1970, 1971 and 1972 for a total of six weeks, 42 total days. So that gives him 102 total flying days since he was "winged" in March of 1970 and taken off flight status due to his lack of physical in August 1972, at 200 hours/year he would have had to have flown an average of four hours every time he showed up. Doubt it. Logbooks anyone? Or did they disappear with the DD-214?

Here's a story (scrolldown a bit) about SquishedBrain taking now-Commerce Secretary Don Evans up in a Cessna 172. Apparently SquishedBrain could hardly taxi the plane and the flight left Evans shaking. So much for being one of the greatest pilots of all time.

At least he's consistent, he's flying the economy the same way. And we're all shaking and the ride's not over yet.
