Seems like a classic example of an airplane whose characteristics demanded even more aptitude, training, and self-discipline thanmost.

This is Tony Nelson cool. Totally Badazz. I know it was a bear to fly and it’s service record was accordingly marred but if looks could kill we could have won the war with these and a few BUFFs.
This may indeed be the finest F-104 documentary to feature an obviously AI-generated voice narration, but truly the best piece of F-104 media ever made period was 1964’s The Starfighters, a feature film starring future California congressman Bob Dornan. This exceptional movie can be watched in its entirety by searching YouTube for “starfighters mst3k”.
