Democrat John F. Kerry told the Associated Press that he has seen Israel "upside down" (the "perfect way to see the Middle East") -- back in 1991, when an Israeli colonel allowed him to take the controls of an Israeli Air Force trainer jet. Kerry told the Associated Press he did "a little aerobatics" -- a loop at 12,000 feet, he said. The AP quoted Kerry as saying: "To be able to come out upside down and look down and catch the horizon in back of me and see all the way down into the Sinai to the old base that had been given up, all the way across into Jordan, all the way out into the Gulf of Aqaba, and to see Israel beneath me, and the lines contained, and to see it all upside down was the perfect way to see the Middle East and Israel." Kerry said he almost flew into Egyptian airspace by mistake. He is not a pilot.
