HOW A 15,000 FOOT RUNWAY LOOKS LIKE - Landing a Lockheed F-104 at the KENNEDY SPACE CENTER

[@troyledbetter6597]

Loved the video! Nice to hear J79 music.

[@pilot482]

Thanks for showing all these about the Starfighter. I have always loved the Starfighter. Such a unique aircraft.

Love the helmet message!!

[@madbager1]

Thank you for maintaining this beautiful piece of flying art❤

[@WDXash]

Excellent! A friend of mine was an instructor on these in the Luftwaffe and then went onto Tornados.

[@FlightSimMuseum]

Great camera angle and landing, thanks for sharing!

[@zaktabak4460]

Always a pleasure to see Pier!!!

[@JPH1786]

Great video! Wild to think an airplane is coming down final at 190 kts.

[@philippepalmers8132]

Very nice recording...thank you !

[@AlessandroBartoloni]

Grande repertorio,Piercarlo

[@garyowen9044]

Whoa. 200kt on final. Your ground rollout is faster than my cruise. 😊

[@mpetry912]

very nice. Amazing how flat the final glide is. Long roll out but you have to taxi back from Titusville ! thanks Piercarlo

[@massimilianomoretti1067]

Great video as always..Always beautiful to see an F104 flying ! Ciao !👍👍👋

[@avnut7]

So cool! Thank you for sharing with us!!!

[@andresteeg]

Great videos of a true legend.Thanks for sharing, keep going. Many happy landings.

[@maurizioc.3121]

Che spettacolo infinito. Come godi...

[@joncox9719]

STOL in a 104 looks easy!

[@marcoribero]

Noto piccolissimi movimenti di barra tipo elicottero. Sempre una meraviglia.

[@kultursender6507]

Perfect landing! 👍👍👍

[@AcroAirwolf]

Very Cool!

[@sb_flyingC150]

Very cool! Keep the videos coming!

[@dgavio]

Fantastico Grazie!

[@kultursender6507]

The 104 is the most amazing aircraft. I would like to fly on along on the backseat one day - that one day!

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

Barely no trimming required ! Impressive !

[@jpatt1000]

Since Cape Canaveral doubles as a wildlife sanctuary, how worried are you about bird strikes? (Especially since there are several large species in the area like the Sandhill Crane, Bald Eagle, American White Pelican and Ospreys that could really ruin a Starfighter's day.) Does Kennedy have personnel that occasionally go and clear the area around the runway? Do gators ever go sunning on the runway surface? (I would suppose that would be more of an evening activity for them though.) Basically, how does the wildlife affect operations there?

[@andreadambrosio9843]

Vista la corsa di atterraggio infinità mi aspettato di vedere apparire il casello alla fine! Comunque questi video sono a dir poco spettacolari….grazie.

[@kbuss10]

your vid inspired me to fly the colimata f104 for xplane using KTTS as a base. real weather is mostly awesome and the plane is quite nice, i dont know if the contacted you for testing the actual product or you ever tried that. altho i feel its more forgiving at low speeds than it shoud be. and when i go below 82% on flaps 2, it always drops the right wing and pulls to the right. i guess thats more random in real life... also i guess you guys tried it in the ITA airforce what its like when you loose the flap blower?

[@Andrea-v7j]

In Italia hanno demolito tutti gli Amx biposto, i pochi sopravvissuti sono finiti come gate guardian in alcune basi😮...Che spreco incredibile

[@soulfunkjazz]

90% thrust on final? Would you need the afterburner for a go around?

[@earlchapman8729]

Is aerodynamic braking ever used with the 104 on landing roll out or is there not enough clearance with the bottom of the tail to do it?

[@knightonwarbeck1969]

How is the runway surface? Can you squeeze out 15 landings before changing (main gear) tires? And, what is the fuel reserve for landing, 800 lbs? And if you need to go a "go around" how much fuel is burned? And... I am a bit surprised your visor is up on landing, losing the engine and ejection would be hard on the eyes at 200 knots. Was there any rules/procedures for this while in the Italian Air Force?

[@stevenoujaim1422]

What’s Vref with a double utility/flapless?

[@justingaskins3440]

Is there a flight schedule, perhaps where you fly over the warbird museum? My dad has been tryna get pics of u guys flying , but given ur location in kennedy I dnt think he allowed 😂

[@grafhilgenhurst9717]

I am guessing the drag chute is required for runways less than 9000 feet. And that the chutes have to get replaced on a regular basis. And that they are not cheap!

[@mattmalaspina6875]

Grazie

[@sanfranciscobay]

1:40 Says 90-94% Power is typically needed on landing.

[@gotmilk91]

F104 is like the opposite of F22 and SU57

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

[@kbuss10]
