      ​@@deborahchesser7375 The F-4 is another 62 year old fabulous mean machine but it was tandem and not single seat fighter although both (F-86 & F-104) had tandem models for training. Both the USAF Thunderbirds and the US navy Blue Angels used the F-4 back in the 1970s. These made for lung crushing sounds during their crowd pleasing shows. The F-4 are very impressive machines ! The Canadian Golden Hawks demonstration team used the F-86 back in the 1960s and what a show they put on !

The main aircraft USAF pilots were being trained in at the time was the F-4 Phantom. I got to see plenty of both while stationed there.

    Takes a lot of balls to fly a plane with stubs for wings!

    How many F-104 are airworthy in 2023?

    Uno dei più bei caccia intercettori di sempre, insieme al AMX sono state colonne portanti nella AMI per molti anni. Purtroppo l'ho visto solo statico su un piedistallo in una base durante il mio breve servizio di mini naja nel 2011 in Puglia.

    I had an old, crappy Testor's model of the 104 and it simply did not do the aircraft justice. Perhaps it was the diminutive scale (or perhaps it's because Testor's took so many shortcuts) but the real aircraft is a badass.

    seen and heard a modified Mirage iiic from SADF, do a vertical climb, in a few seconds, to out of sight!

    Wings on that plane look like as afterthought

    Finally! Without tanks! As nature intended it to be!!
    Would have loved tobsee a knife edge approach or 90 degree banked turn just to show those tiny wings
