Bush flew the F 104. The one in the picture looks like a bigger plane to me, maybe the F106 delta dart.

Bush flew the F-102A Delta Dagger. The F-106 Delta Dart is similar, a later version.

The F-104 was a Strafighter—basically a missile with stubby wings and a high tail.

I Googled XB-70 Valkryie photos, and this photo was one of them.

The chase plane pictured is a TB-58A trainer. This is the B-58 Hustler bomber, a delta wing bomber that came out in the late fifties, and the chase plane is the trainer version.

The B-58 was a large plane, and the B-70 made it look like a fighter!

President Bush flew the F-102 Delta Dart in the TX ANG.

The chase plane appears to be a B-58 Hustler. the B-58 was used as chae for several of XB-70 flights IIRC

No he flew the F-102, Delta Dagger. The 106 was a much upgraded 102, and about the same size. Still I think that chase plane is a 106, but it's hard to tell at that resolution.

According to President Bush’s bio posted at whitehouse.gov he flew F-102’s.
