When he was CIA Director, George H. W. Bush had trouble delivering his intelligence briefings to then presidential candidate Jimmy Carter:
The CIA's Gulfstream jet could not handle the sod airstrip in Plains, Georga. The agency sought logistical help from the Pentagon and learned that Bush would have to take a helicopter to Peterson Field. The CIA aircrew checked their maps. Where the hell was Peterson Field? Another phone call to Plains and they understood: "Peterson's field" was a farmer's forty acres on the edge of town.
