Kerry probably did get the flight, US Senators are high ranking VIPs. I'm guessing that he touched the controls for a short time in normal flight at altitude, and the rest is a fantasy. It'll be interesting to see if the IDF pilot will come forward, he's probably retired by now and can speak.

I'm sure he got the flight, but I'm also sure the pilot wished for duct tape to keep Kerry's paws off the stick until they got to altitude. I can't imagine he did anything but glance at the stick five feet off the deck!

Kerry being a POS lying socialist dink aside the centerline thrust of a fighter jet is easier to control that the P torque of a prop during takeoff and albeit I don't think the liar was allowed to take off or land the aircraft incentive flights to VIP's and even enlisted folks are routine .

I myself got back seat rides in D model F16, an F-4 Phantom and early in my career on the jumpseat of a B52 when I re-enlisted.

Not sure what IDF policy is on such matters but USAF gave/gives such rides and my pilots even let me get a few minutes of stick time (at altittude ) before my E-Ticket joy ride expired.

Stay Safe !
