yep
the f 104 was a delta wing i think.
I know the freepr would get the story out on the type of airplane, but the fact remains that he did volunteer for nam.

No the F 102 was a Delta wing, It only had a few missiles and rockets.
The F 104 was a standard wing fighter. It had the modern Gatling gun.
The F 102 was a stand off fighter that was designed to bring down bombers at long range.
The F 104 was the hot rod of planes.
It was very fast and used to take out fighter and bombers at close range.
