A fear of flying

Another baseless story with no merit that portrays the leader of the free world as a jet pilot who lost his ability to bring his plane in.

Fliers know that landing is the hardest part of flying and when the skills are not up to snuff, landing is where it shows it. That's why Naval pilots have a high level of respect (landing on a pitching deck in the dark). My father had a friend who was excellent in acrobatic tactics at his WWII flight training. But he washed out because he couldn't master landing.
