[quote=drboom][quote=jficquette]I believe that He was rated on the F-103. The Alabama National Guard flew the F-106. That is why he did not fly with the ANG although he was assigned to them. I could be wrong about that. I could ask my father again. So don’t quote me.[/quote]
Perhaps you missed my post a little earlier where I pointed out the XF-103 was a cancelled experimental program that never made it past the mockup stage in the 1950s.

A hero in his day, without a doubt. But he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer and flushed it all down the drain.[/quote]
DrBroom,
I was confusing the F-103 with the F-101. I think Bush rated in the 101. Again not sure. Thanks for the correction. There was something about Bush not being rated in the planes the ANG flew. I will do more research.
