He flew the F 102 not the F 104.

The F 102 fire control system was a 1950 design.
No transistors only tubes.
Its computer was analog not digital.

I don't know much about planes, being a submariner, but I heard someone say that an F102 was like a brick with wings. On the other hand Kerry thought he would get safe PT duty when we volunteered for the swift boats.

Obviously, then Lt. Bush salvaged a computer from an F102, wrote a new O/S and word processing app, and created the CBS memos himself! He knew CBS would find the memos in 2004 and the memos would be exposed as 'forgeries', thus destroying CBS's reputation. It is all so diabolical! < /sarcasm>

p.s. If anyone from C-BS news is reading this, please note the "< /sarcasm>" notation means to not take the above comment seriously. I wouldn't want you goin' off half cocked again with some cockamamie 'news flash' about the memos!

yep

the f 104 was a delta wing i think.

I know the freepr would get the story out on the type of airplane, but the fact remains that he did volunteer for nam.
