Mishaps mark John McCain's record as naval aviator

McCain recounted the accident decades later in his autobiography. "The engine quit while I was practicing landings," he wrote. But an investigation board at the Naval Aviation Safety Center found no evidence of engine failure.

The 23-year-old junior lieutenant wasn't paying attention and erred in using "a power setting too low to maintain level flight in a turn," investigators concluded.

The crash was one of three early in McCain's aviation career in which his flying skills and judgment were faulted or questioned by Navy officials.

In his most serious lapse, McCain was "clowning" around in a Skyraider over southern Spain about December 1961 and flew into electrical wires, causing a blackout, according to McCain's own account as well as those of naval officers and enlistees aboard the carrier Intrepid. In another incident, in 1965, McCain crashed a T-2 trainer jet in Virginia.

WAPO

According to public records, he and Cindy received a marriage license in Maricopa County, Ariz., in early March 1980, four weeks before his divorce from Carol was final. A judge in Florida dissolved the McCains' marriage April 2, entering a default judgment after Carol failed to respond to three court summonses. John and Cindy were wed six weeks later, on May 17.

This rapid-fire sequence of events raises a question about John McCain's path to the White House: Would he be where he is today had he not changed his life, and his wife, when he did?

In Arizona, the tales of John McCain's angry rage and belligerent, threatening behavior in relation to the Mt. Graham Observatory project are legendary.

Today, new evidence in the form of a document, made at the time of the events, has been produced confirming the charges and demonstrating McCain's patent dishonesty in repeatedly denying his misconduct. From Alan Maimon at the Review-Journal

1. And these incidents were BEFORE he was a prisoner

So his mental facilities should have still been intact (well as intact as they could be for this idiot).

6. people need to investigate the carrier fiasco.

[Lint Head]

2. In My Opinion I believe McCain made a spectacular escape from a burning plane

in an accident he caused. This is just my opinion but I base it on the history of John McCains being accident prone. The investigation was never really complete because there was so much damage. Real evidence was incinerated

:dem:

3. After 4 crashes, you'd think he'd pick another line of work. Bad Judgment...

Then the 5th crash gets him captured for 5 years. Hero? Accident prone narcissist.

[Billy Burnett]

4. After 5 crashes, he did.

He's been working at crashing the US economy ever since he married Cindy.

5. Without Cindy's money

McCain would probably be selling used cars somewhere.
