The thing is not how many aircraft he crashed but how he got into flight school in the first place.
Flight school is normally reserved for the top 15% of graduates of the Naval Academy. McCain graduated in the bottom 1% of his class. I suppose in a land that says it has no royalty, his ability to trade on the family history counts for much.
Walking Man :: you are right...I had a Cousin that was a flight instructor for the Navy....he taught helicopters...( he flew a helicopter in vietnam....) I was under the impression that there is special testing etc...and qualifications...
