Who was sitting in the cockpit of that A-4? John McCain! (He managed to scramble to safety before his plane’s fuel ignited.)

yes. this is very important to the election. those of you who have not seen Independence Day may not know that it is quite possible the President will be called upon to fly fighter jet combat missions.
OTOH, remember JFK has been created to be a good president and his ship was sunk.
