Good Evening All, time for the Saturday Sortie. So far we have looked at the F-100, F-101 and F-102 in the Century Fighter lineup. The Republic F-103 was a design that never got past the mock up stage, So we will move on to the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.
Designed by Clarence "Kelly" Johnsom the F-104 was designed in respones to a number of interviews that Kelly Johnson did with USAF pilots in Korea. The aim was to creat a small, simple aircraft with good performance.
The F-104 was initially designed as an interceptor and serverd in that capacity with the USAF from about 1957 to 1967. It was a very unforgiviing aircraft to fly. The small wing coupled with the massive, for the time, J79 jet engine made for very high take off and landing speeds. The wiings were so small and thin that special guards had to be installed on the leading edges to prevent injuries to the ground crewman.
The F-104 was exported to a number of Allies just a few of which would be Canada, West Germany, Republic of China and The Netherlands. In all 14 countries beside the USAF used the F-104 in one capacity or the other. The majority of these machines had been much modified from the original interceptor model to make them a multi-role aircraft. In fact Pakistan still has a number of Starfighters in service.
The General Electric Vulcan 20mm cannon was developed for the F-104. Also it should be noted that the Stardighter was the first combat aircraft capable of sustained MAch 2 flight. On with the pics...

It is easy to saee from this pic how the F-104 became known as "The missle with a man in it".
NASA Used the F-104 as a chase and pilot proficiency aircraft. Here's one turning into the landing pattern.
During the Cold War it occurred to a few folks that runways would quickly become unusable in the event that hostilities would break out. The answer was ZELL or Zero Length Launcher. Strap a big ol hairy rocket onto the bottom of the aircraft, light the wick and away you go. Here we have a picture of a West German Luftwaffe F-104 undergoing a ZELL Launch.
I wonder how they figfured on landing the aircraft hmmmm?
Celebrating 50 years of service here we have a gaily painted F-104. I regrett that I do not recall whose ship this is, might be the Itailan Air Force bur I don't know for sure.
Well that's it for tonight y'all have a great week.
Regards
