Many (possibly even most) of which were caused by pilots insufficiently familiar with the aircraft, or operating with payloads and/or flight conditions beyond what the manufacturer specified. The F104 wasn't designed for use as a terrain-hugging low-level strike aircraft. A lot of the incidents were with F-104s operated by the German units, not the USAF. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
