GW's NG service turned out to be a case of "be careful what you ask for because you might get it." I expect that he did not realize that he was going to end up flying one of the worst death trap airplanes ever purchased by the U.S. Military.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a point where he was saying to himself "what was I thinking?"
