In the mid 50's during the Korean War, altitude was the most sought after feature for jet fighters. The F-104 was designed for significantly better high altitude performance. Its 2.2 mach speed was because of its small body and large engines. The F-104 was dubbed "the missile with a man in it" ! Maximum range for 104 was 750 miles and it carried 1-20 mm cannon and 2 sidewinder heat seeking missiles.
Designed as a high-speed interceptor and tactical fighter, the F104 was first flown on February 18th, 1954.© Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
