What got me confused with the manuals is - the A,B,C,D one is a bit generic, and is dated a year before the Zipper ended active service, to my knowledge, after that, all got left were those in Puerto Rico ANG 'till 1975. The specific C variant manual I have different cockpit arrangement, with single LABS timer over the throttle, something I didn't found on any photo, and I'm not sure how would this even work, unless B28 and other A-G ordnance was delivered only in level flight.
I just feel I'm missing something here.
Plus what was the real difference between Block 5 and Block 10 aircraft ?
Will probably have to take your advice TC, and go straight to JR007 with that. |

| Definitely. If anyone can answer your questions on the 104, JR's your guy! |

Salute!
Zippers were still flying well into the 80's.

| There have always been two types of fighter pilots. Those who flew the F-104, and those who wished they had. |

There was a third type.
Those who flew against it and didn't fit into the other two categories.

F-104 was a beautiful machine, for sure the aft section, which got the most airborne views.
I think the front end must have been esthetically pleasing also. From what I can tell from pictures on the ground.
However, I would have loved to have flown it, primarily for getting chicks.

Hi... This is a great thread - I always loved the '104... Come to find out, a friend of mine at a company here in California is interesting in buying a real F-104 for a static display. Does anyone here know of a F-104 for sale? Esp in USAF regalia?
Thx

Wow, a very nice aircraft... But it's in the UK and would probably have to be disassembled to be shipped to California.
Did the USAF ever fly the G model? |

Only at Luke AFB in the German training program. |

Sundowner,
Never flew a Zipper equipped with LABS, or the 'C' model, so I can't comment on it. |
