John McCain crashed three planes, mostly due to lack of judgment. If it had been any other pilot who wasn’t the son of an admiral, his career would have been over after the first crash. If that’s not affirmative action, I don’t know what is.[/quote]
The grand total of planes McCain crashed is five. Pretty impressive. Especially considering McCain only spent about a total of 20 hours in combat.
My FIL (RIP) who went from flying propeller to jet planes managed 20 years in the Navy without crashing one of their aircraft.
