1. I can't guess what bush wishes he had done, but I think the ads and
these Associated Press articles would have been published regardless of whether he denounced the SBVT or not. Wasn't it the AP who initiated the Freedom of Information Act inquiry that resulted in the release of the new info?

I looked at the article you linked to and found another one on the same topic, also released by Associated Press, which includes description of bush's actual flying frequency and ability.

Bush Piloted Guard Trainers Before He Quit

WASHINGTON - George W. Bush began flying a two-seat training jet more frequently and twice required multiple attempts to land a one-seat fighter in the weeks just before he quit flying for the Texas Air National Guard in 1972, his pilot logs show.


The logs show Bush flew nine times in T-33 trainers in February and March 1972, including eight times in one week and four of those only as a co-pilot. Bush, then a first lieutenant, flew in T-33s only twice in the previous six months and three times in the year ending July 31, 1971.

The records also show Bush required two passes to land an F-102A fighter on March 12 and April 10, 1972. His last flight as an Air National Guard pilot was on April 16.

2. I don't think Bush ever thinks he should have done...
... something else. Funny thing about rigid, inflexible, autocratic people. They never look back--they don't want to survey the damage they've done, to themselves and to others.

Now, what kind of person is Bush? :P

5. The trouble with Bush ...

3. More fodder...
... bouncing back and forth between F-102As and T-33s might indicate some uncertainty on Bush's part, or his instructors, about his abilities regarding high-speed jet flight.

More than ever, I want someone in the press to find out what happened on April 16, 1972. Past biographies suggest that he was exclusively flying F-102As from completion of T-33 training until May, 1972, and now, there's evidence that he wasn't.

There's more to this than has been reported.
