Pete Pettigrew - Biography
As a lieutenant commander (O-4), he flew F-4J Phantoms with Navy Fighter Squadron 114, from the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, off North Vietnam. On 6 May 1972, he and his wingman engaged four North Vietnamese MiG-21 fighters. In a 90-second dogfight (because both were low on fuel), he shot down one MiG, his leader got another, and both F-4s disengaged without an enemy shot fired.
