Washington - A veteran U.S. pilot revealed today that former President George W. Bush applauded wildly every time Air Force One touched down, no matter how mundane the journey. "After bumpy flights during which I zigzagged through bolts of lightning, I appreciated acknowledgment the landing was stellar," the pilot said on the condition of anonymity. "But a standing 'O' surrounded by blue skies was a bit much." The president reportedly nicknamed the pilot in some measure because of his landing prowess. "Mr. Bush called me 'Stick,'" the pilot claimed. "Partly because I'm thin and partly because I 'stick' the landings."
