Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
Known as the "manned missile", the F-104 was designed to intercept nuclear bombers and ended up working in the air superiority and reconnaisance roles. Length: 54.9 ft Wing span: 21.11 ft Weight: 14,903 lbs empty, 21,693 lbs take-off Power: G.E. J79-GE-19 turbojet rated at 17,900 lbs Designer: Jim Goldman Textures: Jim Goldman Flight Dynamics: Jim Goldman / Graham "Dotcom" Waterfield Panel: Graham Waterfield / Alex Bashkatov Sound: Mike Hambly Date:March, 1999 My Notes When I first loaded the plane it sank into the runway and bounced... ending up in the peculiar position at right! On the next attempt I hit "Y" to enter yaw mode - then F4 to shift the plane up a few thousand feet. Now the plane flew - but with no sound. After hooning aroung the Italian countryside at low altitude for a bit I decided to land - fully expecting the plane to sink again. No! Landing and taxiing were fine and I even came to a full stop with no side effects. |
