The Lockheed Martin F-104 Starfighter is a single engine, supersonic interceptor craft which later became an attack craft. Once used only by the USAF, it was used by all US allies 'round the world. It is also one of the Century Series of fighters. It also recieved positive and negative nicknames like Filegender Sarg (Germany, Flying Coffin) and Eiko (Japan, Glory). It was also one of the fastest aircraft, and at that time, the fastest fighter jet of the USAF. It's engine made a unique sound too, resembling a TIE fighter sound, hence recieving the nick Howling Howland This particular model, the F-104C, is a fighter bomber equipped with 4 AIM-9's (Guardians) and a 250 pound bomb. Don't let the tiny wings fool you, though. They still can produce enough lift. Also, don't use this to avoid missiles, as it rolls too fast and pitches too slowly.
