  Bush plane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bush plane is a general aviation aircraft serving remote, undeveloped areas of a country, usually the African bush, Alaskan and Canadian tundra or the Australian Outback.
The most common bush planes are the Cessna 182, Cessna 206, Piper Super Cub, Douglas DC-3, DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter, and De Havilland Beaver, although countless other aircraft types serve in these hostile regions.
Bush pilots are often proud of the fact that most of their landings are logged in taildraggers.

 Bush book: Chapter -24-

Bush had plenty of opportunity that day to say something about the Gulf; he met with the GOP Congressional leadership for more than an hour on the morning of July 31 and, according to participants, told them he was "annoyed" at the pace of the budget talks, which remained stalemated.

Bush himself admits that he was in a big hurry to get out of his cockpit: "The wind was playing tricks, or more likely, I pulled the rip cord too soon." [fn 9] This caused his gashed forehead and damaged his parachute.

On December 4, 2001, Bush was asked, "How did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?" Bush replied, "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower--the TV was obviously on.

 Bush's 9/11 Visit to Booker Elementary School- THE VIDEO
George Bush claimed to have seen the first plane hit the World Trade Tower on a television in Booker Elementary School before going into a classroom to hear some children read.
But far more telling than Bush's reaction is that of Card himself who, as can be seen in the above clip, steps in to inform Bush of the second impact (without mentioning the fact that more hijacked planes were in the air), then immediately steps back without waiting for a reply.
Ostensibly, Bush and Card are reacting to a surprise attack, but Bush does not act surprised, and Andrew Card does not act like a man delivering an unexpected piece of news but instead is merely delivering a progress report to which he already knows Bush will not have an immediate response.

 The New Yorker: The Critics: Books
According to “The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty” (Doubleday; $27.95), an admiring history of the family by Peter and Rochelle Schweizer, George Walker Bush, as a child, had leafed through photograph albums of his father in uniform and stolen glimpses of his medals.
For George H. Bush, as for Prescott, this sense of noblesse oblige was accompanied by a conception of politics and foreign affairs as matters for gentlemen to work out around the table or over drinks, and for most of his career he excelled by hewing to this ethic.
Bush does the opposite: his use of religion seems designed to remove any doubt—first in his own mind, then in the public’s—about his course.

 Montagne Aircraft — MOUNTAIN GOAT STOL™ Bush Plane and General Aviation Aircraft — 1. HOME
The MOUNTAIN GOAT STOL™ introduces substantially meaningful design innovations in the structure and aerodynamics of our plane, which so excels in meeting the diverse goals of the 2-place bush plane, it establishes new standards of performance for this class of aircraft.
With its extremely resilient, TIG welded 4130 chrome moly alloy or titanium fuselage structures, rough field suspension, and peerless flying performance, we adamantly believe the MOUNTAIN GOAT STOL™ is by far the safest bush plane available.
