*'s F-102 could carry AIM-26A Nuclear Falcon missles

[bluedog]

Because of the nuclear capability the 111 th aircrew were subject to Human Realiability Program(HRP) now called PRP......The currant PRP ensures that service members having direct or inderect contact with nuclear weapons "demonstrate loyalty, integrity, trustworthiness, and discretion of the highest order."

Suspension or decertification from PRP can result from any shortcomings in a person's physical, mental, or emotional health. Substance abuse involving alcohol or drugs is always potentially disqualifying.

Cannabis use might not be immediately disqualifying, but all other illegal drugs would result in permanent decertification from PRP..

This may shine some light on the reason bush could no longer fly..he couldn't be trusted to handle a plane carrying a "Nuke Missle"
