Nepotism to the point that an unfit pilot is crashing planes left and right and not being held accountable because his daddy.
Let's assume all this is true exactly the way OP reported it.
What point are you trying to make here? That nepotism is bad? I can agree with that.
Are you saying Senator McCain wasn't that great a pilot? If so, I have no independent source so I neither agree nor disagree.
Are you saying he was a hard partier at that time in his life? Okay ... so what? I'll add that the Orange One was too at a similar age and I don't care about that either.
Exactly what point are you trying to make about the past of a dead 81 year old that has any relevance today?

Did he experience a powerful feeling of faith in his flying after each crash?

Well, the rocket hit McCain's plane, so probably not McCain.
Too bad flight deck video doesn't back that claim up. Nor the official report
quote:
The official Navy investigation identified the Skyhawk struck by the Zuni as aircraft No. 405, piloted by Lieutenant Commander Fred D. White.

After about 90 sec, did you notice an explosion? Yeah, that was McCains bomb exploding after he panicked and released it on deck. Then ran for cover. Wanna know my source? The US Navy.

The official report states that one Korean War-era 1000-lb AN-M65 bomb fell from a A-4 Skyhawk to the deck

The rocket was doing it's job, seeking out the enemy. It just missed.

If you got a dollar for every whataboutism you'd be on to something.

And if not for the turbulence of this flight would this be enough to seperate the two.

He did not lose the aircraft but you claim he did.

quote:Actually, no. Only in your mind, these two correlate as an equal. So I'll raise you one, Trump was never captured.

Any other aviator would have been bounced out after the first crash.

If anymore of his so-called "allies" get the call from Mueller and flip, you can bet your bottom dollar he will in fact be captured.

How do we know he didn't crash again in North Vietnam?

5 planes makes him an ace for the other guys?
I know somebody said that already, on my phone

You can count that one too and just like when Trump crashed the USFL!

read what I was replying to, it should clear it up for you, if not I will check back in when I get a computer and walk you through it. Hard to do all the back and forth quoting on a phone.

quote:Right. That's certainly one of the rumors. Official reports and footage don't really support the contention though.
My understanding what happened from a survivor of the incident, that McCain was essentially doing a fighter jet equivalent of a burnout.
