The Empty Flight Suit

According to DailyKos, here is what the New York Times wrote about the day:

Never before has a president landed aboard a carrier at sea, much less taken the controls of the aircraft. His decision to sleep aboard the ship this evening in the captain's quarters conjured images of the presidency at sea not seen since Franklin D. Roosevelt used to sail to summit meetings.
Mr. Bush was clearly reliving his days as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard, more than three decades ago.
No, he wasn't. If he were reliving his days in the Guard, he wouldn't have shown up.
