I heard this on Neil Boortz radio show. I thought it was pretty funny. I wonder if it's true.

Quote:
I am led to understand that George Bush was making some of the radio calls when his Navy SB3 approached the USS Abraham Lincoln almost two weeks ago.

When an aircraft approaches the carrier for landing the pilot is, as I understand it, supposed to line up some brightly lit balls in a display off to the side of the landing deck. As Navy One was on final approach for trap aboard to the Abraham Lincoln Bush is said to have keyed the mic and say “Lincoln, Navy One, 12,500 lbs, I have the balls."

The crowd, as they say, went wild.
