the old man would look at 104s and say 'just 'cause you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should do it'

The plane that almost killed Chuck Yeager.

Pretty lawn dart.

The German joke about the F-104 was, "How do you get your hands on a Starfighter? Buy a field – and wait.”

Robert Calvert made an album in 1974 called Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters, about the Germans buying F-104s and making fun of them for doing so. I always wondered whether he really meant the satire, and apparently he did.

RF, that airplane was nowhere near the operational domain of the F-104...it was fitted with a rocket engine and an RCS, and meant to go clean out of the atmosphere for astronaut training.

Man, those J-79s were smoky. No point in stealth with those. And the F4 used TWO of them!
