When was the last time that Bush flew a plane? Taking the stick in the air does not count.

Bush does not know how to fly a plane. Although he received introductory training in Texas, he stopped training and was grounded before he could qualify. Bush lied about all this in his autobiography where he made himself sound like a qualified fighter pilot. That is completely untrue. Bush also evaded his mandatory drug test during that period of time. On AWOLBUSH.com you can read the testimony of a non-partisan eyewitness who saw Bush fail to be able to start a simple Cessna airplane in 1976. Bush has not even tried to fly since. The landing on the aircraft carrier with the flight suit and claim "I flew it!" was all BS. Two expert pilots flew and landed that plane, though they might have let Bush touch the stick for a few minutes. Kerry is an expert stunt pilot who can do barrel-rolls and even flies choppers. He doesn't brag about it though.
