[F-104 Starfighter] Conception aerodynamique et qualités de vol

[FATac]

Pour ma part, je trouve que les deux "machins" donnent un petit air de trident furieusement agressif, un peu comme les rails portés par les Tiger suisses, par exemple.

Il y a aussi le film allemand Starfighter, que j'ai vu il y a quelques années.

Je l'avais oublié celui-ci. Le sujet pourrait constituer un sacré matériel pour une série de fond... mais j'ai toujours eu un peu de mal avec les téléfilms allemands. Entre les éclairages, les jeux d'acteurs... Bref, j'ai peur de le regarder ^^

C'est tout à fait regardable, sans être du grand cinéma.

Après "F-16: le RETOUR"  ... https://www.scramble.nl/military-news/starfighter-returns-to-the-skies

Starfighters Aerospace announced with pride that their Lockheed TF-104G, registration N991SF (construction number 5209) has flown again.

After months of preparations, it made its first flight from their homebase, Kennedy Space Centre (FL) on 27 January 2021.

N991SF is a former Aeronautica Militare (AMI, Italian Air Force) machine, which in those days carried serial MM54258. The two-seater Starfighter received a new black paint scheme and large “KANON” titles on the vertical stabilizer. These titles refer to a Loading Equipment firm with the same name, one of the sponsors of Starfighters Aerospace.

Based at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and operating under authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration, Starfighters Aerospace is a company that carries out a variety of missions for government and commercial customers. And, above all, it operates the world’s only fleet of flight-ready F-104 Starfighter jets.

The company, that currently has four airworthy aircraft out of a planned fleet of seven, has purchased five F-104s from the Italian Air Force after the service retired the type from operational service in 2004 (with a last flight in July 2005), including three TF-104G-M two-seat trainers. One of these, with civilian registration N991SF, operated for more than 30 years as MM54258 with the 20° Gruppo (Squadron), the Italian Air Force’s F-104 OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) based at Grosseto.
