“I take it off, we go up into the sky, climb up, head down toward Aqaba. And I wanted to look at Aqaba, so I’m coming down over Aqaba, and I suddenly hear this voice on the intercom, and he says, ‘Senator, you’d better turn faster, you’re going over Egypt.’”
– US Presidential candidate John Kerry recalling his experience at flying an Israeli Air Force jet.
Update: Did it actually happen?

Interesting, he wanted to see Aquaba, even though that was in Jordan before the 93/94 peace treaty, and pretty risky considering how close all three countries borders come to a point near Aquaba … one high-speed mistake and whammo.
Even funnier, appearently Kerry’s move to the right almost got him shot down … now sure if there’s any real symbolism in that, but an interesting observation.
