1 to lower tailhook, this is an extreemly manuverable fighter, but even though it is the carrier version, it is extreemly hard to land on a carrier.

    @Subnerdica that’s no matter. It still looks good like this. But I feel like maintenance on continental europe used to be somewhat appalling. Also Lockheed did do that whole bribery thing making governments buy the F-104 but that’s another issue hahaha

    The pilots who died were actually from terrible maintenance @Mustang51
