MERIDIAN, Miss. -- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain returned to his aviator roots Sunday, attending an air show at a field named after his grandfather.
The Arizona senator and his wife Cindy attended the "Wings over Meridian" airshow at Naval Air Station Meridian's McCain Field. McCain served as a Navy flight instructor at the field, which is named after the late Adm. John S. McCain Sr.
McCain declined to talk about his campaign.
"I'm just here to see the airshow, so it's hard for
me to get political," said McCain, who shook hands with dozens of spectators and
signed baseball hats. "It's a great experience for me to be
back."
McCain, starting a tour of places around the country that have been important in his life, planned to talk about his family's military history in a speech Monday in Meridian before heading to Jackson for a $1,000-a-plate fundraising dinner.
