HobbyMaster Diecast Model Lockheed F-104C Starfighter 435TH TFS Udorn AFB, Thailand
"Pussy Cat" Squadron Cmd. Lt. Joe Nevers 1/72 Scale - HA1002 Wingspan: 3.75" The F-104 Starfighter was a revolutionary design with short razor-sharp wings. It was the first aircraft to be able to maintain Mach 2 not just in short bursts. The Starfighter shattered speed and rate of climb records that still are impressive today. This extremely high speed earned the plane the nickname "The Missile With A Man In It". Because of financial considerations 15 or more countries purchased the F-104. The Starfighter flew with the USAF in 1958 and the last airplane was decommissioned in Italy in 2004. | | |
