If so, then the modern USAF pilots have gotten pretty wimpy. They’d wet themselves at the thought of an F-104...

It’s one thing if you know a plane is a bear to fly.

The air supply/blackout issue is not yet fixed and I can understand this is a problem that can happen and you not be aware of it until you’re nodding off and blacking out. It is also intermittent so you never know if or when it will happen.

One can reasonably assume that after having 30+ more years experience building jets since the f-104, that it should not be like flying an f-104.
