Titolo: Bush. Ore di volo.

Se ne discuteva, su un thread. La questione non mi pare fondamentale, visto
che il pargolo di papà ha sfangato la guerra vera, ma ecco una cifra. Non so
se siano tante o poche: se ne occupino i suoi colleghi "guerrieri da
lontano". Shalom.

Ellington, where Bush was stationed, has remained a National Guard air
defense base until the present day. In the early 1970s, however, the
facility also took on a secondary duty as the only training base for all
F-102 pilots in the ANG, including some 15 or so squadrons at the time. Lt.
Bush remained in the Texas ANG as a certified F-102 pilot who participated
in frequent drills and alerts through April of 1972. It appears that he
remained on air defense alert since he did not meet the minimum of 1,000
flying hours needed to become an F-102 pilot instructor. Bush had over 600
flight hours when he left the Guard, but only 278 of these were aboard the
F-102 and TF-102.
By this time, the 147th Fighter Wing was also beginning to phase out the
F-102 in the air defense role in favor of F-101B and F-101F two-seat
long-range interceptors. As the Ellington F-102 fleet was transitioned to
training ANG pilots from other units or retired from service, the F-101 took
its place as the primary air defense fighter for the Texas ANG. The base
received its first F-101 in May 1971 and its final F-102 was retired in
August 1974. The F-102 remained in use with several other units until 1976
when the 199th FIS of the Hawaii ANG finally concluded the long and proud
service of "the Deuce," as it was affectionately known.
Bush was honorably discharged from the Air National Guard in October 1973 at
the rank of first lieutenant. An ANG physical dated 15 May 1971 indicates
that he had logged 625 flight hours by that time, and he ultimately
completed 326 hours as pilot and 10 as co-pilot while serving with the 111th
FIS in Texas. In the fall of 1973, Bush began coursework at the Harvard
Business School where he received an MBA in 1975.

Se non erro sono due cifre da pilota della domenica. In genere si parla 
di 2000 ore come soglia di rispettabilita' per un pilota militare di 
carriera.
Si vede che non era la carriera che aveva scelto, ammesso che ne abbia 
mai scelta un'altra che svortare...

Si vede che non era la carriera che aveva scelto,
Infatti, se non lo sai caro *FESSO MONONEURONE*, l'ha lasciata ed e'
andato a Harward.

Eppoi dall'eloquio, nonsi direbbeche gli e' stata utile neanche Harvard 
(chissa' quante ore ha fatto la' dentro tra un cicchetto e l'altro, e 
una pupa fatta more ginecologico)

Eh?

A te non e' stata utile di sicuro, povero *FESSO MONONEURONE*.
