IIRC his service was just after the Korean Conflict. That said, it
takes a decent pair to land a high performance aircraft on a pitching

Without getting into debates about his personal bravery, I've been trying to
figure out exactly what Rumsfeld did fly. He's mentioned flying S2Fs in the
reserves, and he was a flight instructor after completing flight school
(SNJs or maybe T-28s, right?). But despite several biographies calling him a
Navy fighter pilot, I can't find any reference to him flying a specific type
of fighter.
