President Bush didn't get to Vietnam for another reason: the USAF no longer used the F-102 Delta Dagger in Vietnam by the time Bush had enough hours on the plane (circa 1970). The USAF did fly the F-102 in Vietnam during the middle 1960's to provide protection against the North Vietnamese Air Force flying bombing raids to South Vietnam, but since that threat never really materialized the F-102's were sent back to the States in favor of more planes that had fighter-bomber capability. That's why the USAF sent many F-100 Super Sabre, F-105 Thunderchief and F-4 Phantom II units to operational service in Vietnam because they were used for close air support bombing operations.
