the colonel who was showing him around Israel during a 1991 visit not only got him into a trainer, but let him take the controls.

This visit is probably traceable as is the identity of the colonel who allegedly let this hot dog take a 15 million dollar plane on a personal joy ride.

Why do I doubt this story is true?

[bayourod]

I took a tour of Kennedy Space Port last year. I asked the tour guide if I could take a joy ride on a space shuttle. At first she refused, but eventually relented when I offered her a five dollar tip.

I took off straight up, turned quickly to avoid Cuban air space, did a figure "8" over Key West, and landed with only three bounces.

It's true what they say about the people in Key West, they all look alike upside down.

"I take it off, ...

Not a chance. Not even if he has a private pilot's license, which I doubt.

...and I suddenly hear this voice on the intercom, and he says, 'Senator, you'd better turn faster, you're going over Egypt.'"

So, Senator, how do you turn a trainer? Care to describe the process?

What kind of plane was it? Where were YOU sitting relative to the instructor pilot?

Kerry said the colonel then gave him permission to do "a little aerobatics" and that he made a loop at about 12,000 feet.

So tell me Senator, what was your altitude when you started your loop? How high did you go? What airspeed were you at when you started? How low were you when you got back to straight and level?

This is so completely bogus you have to wonder if Kerry has completely lost it.

[EGPWS]

It's been a tough week for John Kerry's credibility.

hehehehehe....

And I though God had a tough week a while back.

[stylin19a]

Maybe John Kerry realized in order to be President you have to fly jets so .................with John Kerry's face and John Lovitz's voice

"I was awarded a Bronze Star...no wait...I, ah, was awarded the Bronze Star AND the Silver Star...no wait...I fly jets...yeah, that's the ticket".

Ping a ling

[Political Junkie Too]

I wonder if Kerry was also with Al Gore when he visited the flood victims in Texas.

[Mo1]

BTW .. WND forgot to mention the part where Kerry describes how he was wearing a flight suit and helmet

He sounded like he was trying to one up the President

[goldstategop]

Jon F*ckin' has a problem with the truth. As with the war medals story, you'll no doubt hear more versions of it over the coming months.

[KOZ.]

the guy has trouble piloting a boat, and he think we're gonna believe he took off and did loopdyloops in a fighter.

[CharlieChan]

This story is in error. It probably came from an AP report that was also wrong. I taped Kerry's speech and went back and checked. Kerry said the Israel "ACE" took the plane off and offered Kerry the controls when it was about five feet off the ground.
This could be sloppy reporting, or the AP's attempt to make Kerry look better--while giving Kerry the opportunity to criticize the critics for wrong info.
I think Kerry is lying about this. An easy way to prove one way or the other is for Kerry to name the ACE PILOT.
There are very few Israel aces from 1967. For this amazing once in a life experience, how could Kerry forget his name? Then the first thing to do would be to check if the guy was still alive in 1991. It's a bit unusual for a fighter pilot still flying military jets 24-25 years later.

"…and after I did a few loops, I invented my famous flip-flop maneuver. So, I was able to see everything from two different perspectives, and they all looked alike. Now, it was right at that very moment that I thought, 'This flip-flop thing could come in real handy for my political career.'…"

"…and my girlfriend, uhh, Morgan Fairchild was right there with me, yeah, that's it, Morgan Fairchild…"

[OXENinFLA]

OMG KERRY IS TALKING ABOUT FLYING A JET!!!!!!!!!(OVER IN ISERAL)

DONING A FLIGHTSUIT!!!

NOW HE SAID HE DID A LOOP!!!

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE COULD FLY!!!

These were my comments as I watched Kerry say this.

JOHN KERRY: Open mouth, insert foot.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

[dennisw]

Tawana Brawley sprouts wings and takes to the air. A flight of fantasy. Designed to scam money out of Jewish mega donors to the 'crats.

[dennisw]

Effin' Kerry is one of the last guys to give a flying ef about Israel. This yarn is custom made to gull Jewish voters and blood donors to the 'crat party.

kerrys a dimwitted liar

[sergeantdave]

While doing guard duty at the brig on the USS Oriskany, I got bored and asked the admiral if I could take the carrier for a spin.

"Well, sarge, I don't know. What's your experience?"

I told the admiral that I did extensive fishing for muskie at Buffalo Lake while at the helm of a 15 ft. boat sporting a 20 hp Evinrude.

That's all he needed to know, and he gave me the wheel, warning me not to get to close to Haiphong Harbor 'cause the waters were mined and oysters were busy making pearls.

So I gave the carrier a little spin, doing a figure eight and cruising south and then up the Mekong River, doubling back under evasive maneuvers I learned while tracking walleyes, to Osaka to confuse any enemy frogmen shadowing us and then I parked the ship in a small Vietnamese fishing boat berth while the crew bobbed for sea bass.

"Good job, sarge," said the admiral. "One day you'll win an award at the Liar's Club convention, or enter life as a fiction writer or politician."

[Alouette]

This whopper beats Bill Clinton's pledge to "take a rifle, get in the trenches and fight and die" hands down.
