You should have done a bit more research Ivan. He was 1st Lt flying for 187th Fighter Wing in Texas Air National Guard prior to going into politics. And he flew to that carrier in a combat jet (in the sensor operator seat, but still).
Congratulations. I have not awarded a hand-picked sealion picture for some time, but you have earned this. Please print it and place it nearyour computer so you know how you come across to others.
