He received his pilot wings at Connally AFB, Waco, Texas, in September 1953. He completed advanced interceptor training and was assigned to the 54 th Flight Interceptor Squadron, Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, South Dakota. In December 1955, he was assigned to the 496 th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Hahn Air Base, Germany, where he piloted F-86D's and served as flight leader as well as flight test maintenance officer.

Upon returning to the United States in August 1958, General Stafford attended the Air Force Experimental Flight Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB. He graduated in April 1959 and received the A. B. Honts award as the outstanding graduate.

General Stafford was selected for the Second Astronaut Group in September 1962 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to participate in the Gemini and Apollo Projects. In December 1965, he was the Gemini VI Pilot which performed the world's first rendezvous in space and helped develop techniques to prove the basic theory and practicality of space rendezvous. In June 1966, he commanded Gemini IX and performed three different types of rendezvous exercises including: a demonstration of an early phased rendezvous that would become the standard used in the Apollo missions, the first optical rendezvous, and a simulated lunar module abort rendezvous.

From August 1966 to October 1968, he headed the mission planning analysis and software development for the astronaut group for Project Apollo. General Stafford commanded Apollo 10 in May 1969. It was the first fight of the lunar module to the moon. He performed the first rendezvous around the moon and descended to within nine miles of the lunar surface.

He was assigned as Astronaut Group Head in June 1969 and, as such, was responsible for the selection of flight crews for Projects Apollo and Skylab.

In June 1971, General Stafford was assigned as Deputy Director of Flight Crew Operations at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center. He logged his forth space flight as Apollo commander of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission, July 15-24, 1975; a joint space flight culminating in the historic first meeting in space between American Astronauts and Soviet Cosmonauts. General Stafford assumed command of the Air Force Flight Test Center November 4, 1975.

He was promoted to grade of Lieutenant General on March 15, 1978. On May 1, 1978, he assumed duties as Deputy Chief of Staff, Research Development and Acquisition, Headquarters USAF, Washington, D.C. He retired from the United States Air Force in November 1979.

General Stafford has flown six rendezvous' in space, logged 507 hours and 43 minutes in space flight, and wore the Air Force Command Pilot Astronaut Wings. He has flown over 127 different type of aircraft and helicopters and four different types of spacecraft.

He has served as an advisor to NASA and the Air Force Systems Command. He has also chaired numerous governmental committees including: the Operational Oversight Committee to service and repair the Hubble Telescope; the Shuttle-MIR Independent Oversight Review Committee; and, presently, the International Space Station Independent Oversight Review Committee for Safety and Operational Readiness. General Stafford served on the National Research Council's Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board, the Committee on NASA Scientific and Technological Program Reviews and Vice President Quayle's Space Policy Advisory Council. He also chaired the Clinton Administration's Review Committee formed to enhance NASA's Human Exploration Research and Development efficiency.
