Guard records President Bush ranked in the middle of his Air National Guard flight class and flew 336 hours in a fighter jet before letting his pilot status lapse and missing a key readiness drill in 1972, according to flight records released yesterday under the Freedom of Information Act. Defense officials told the Associated Press that they had found two dozen new records detailing the president's training and flight logs after AP filed a lawsuit. The Pentagon said, "At the time President Bush left the service, flight records were subject to retention for only 24 months, and we understood that neither the Air Force nor the Texas Air National Guard retained such records thereafter. "The Department of Defense regrets this oversight during the previous search efforts," the Pentagon said. Still, the new logs shed little light on charges made by Democrats that Mr. Bush shirked his Guard duties. They show that Mr. Bush, a lieutenant in the Texas Air National Guard, ranked No. 22 in a class of 53 pilots when he finished his flight training at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia in 1969.
