Incredible acceleration when the burner kicked in. Like theres no tmorrow. Amazing.

Damn, she looks good. over 70 years old, still cuts a figure. With new avionics, radar and improved engine, this can be a 4 1/2 Gen fighter. Wonder if Lockheed-Martin is watching.

I own an original F-104 actuator for rear flaps, inside prepared to put a cognac bottle in it. Ideal for the desk of the boss! I want to sell it. Interested?

Is the afterburner take off necessarry or for show? (wouldn't it save tons of fuel when take off with dry thrust only?)
@espenjoh4 ай бұрын
A starfighter always need to use afterburner on take off, due to high take off speed. The wings are very short, and that makes the take off speed high. (Altso makes a starfighter wery fast)

That's a high landing speed :-)

The sound of a J-79 is truly something, especially that howl on landing

Useless and expensive and unstable and pointless.. An excuse of an aircraft brought into being because 2 manufacturers , engine and airframe, held their weak government to ransom.. GE and Lockheed rinsed the US govt for billions and shoved this one trick pony into the cold war.. Thankfully, the F4 and the F15 took up the slack..
Boy.... that landing was toooooo way long. In my jet fighter times touching after PAPI was automatically Touch and Go... no way trying it further.

From 1:38 to 1:50 that is a crazy acceleration.

Not really when compared to more modern fighters. It used 21 seconds from it started rolling to becoming airborne. This F-16 used only 12 seconds, although it probably had a lower take-off speed due to its larger wings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4e8gZ1mqZanhMU

Modern fighters. This old lady has its T2W ratio as its best in the 60's, well, 55-60 years ago. The 16 had 20 years after this, and that 16 airframe is also 50 years old, which is insane. I wonder that USA forgot the one-engine planes in most of the situations, like the F20, which can be also a hell of a fighter, like the F16.

The design of the flap and aileron in one piece on this plane would allow the plane to hold on to the air more during take off and land, it is now a legend in the past. Avionic And Oto Pilot Tekc.
