I'm about halfway through writing on the F-104, and I underestimated the sheer dept of history of this fighter. and there's a lot of aspects to cover.
The whole design side is the work of jet design and it feels like combined with whatever was found at the area 51 alien crash site.
The safety record, the constant mission changes of the cold war.
Its export history.
The planes psychotic need to smash pilots into the ground.
A bribery scandal around lockheed martin.
I'm hoping that when I post this that every one gets a kick out of learning about a plane that could fly at mach jesus christ
