Aah, didn't know about the mod on Yeagers F-104, that explains that. Don't get me wrong, I have a respect for the Starfighter...but it's not a gentle plane, you make a mistake and it will bite your head off. Some aircraft let you get away with little errors...I doubt very much the F-104 is one of them.
I certainly wouldn't call it the
worst combat aircraft in history...but it at least deserves to be on the list IMHO.
Oh, and the Lead Sled? Dunno what to make of it...but prefer the Sabre any day.
