I was privileged to spend my teen age years at Luke AFB when the "Starfighters Came to Town." My dad was in the initial cadre of instructors to train the Luftwaffe pilots.
When I was a kid I wanted so badly become a fighter pilot. And to fly the Straighter. Of course I failed. But seeing this it gives me back the feelings that I had back than..I had a plastic model that I blew up with a firecracker and threw it out of the window of my bedroom...but to my surprise it survived!
Great video! The sound is so beautiful. Could film the Starfighter's arrival and flying display at Aalborg Airshow the same weekend. It was magnificient. :)
Back in the late 80's the Lockheed Starfighter made numerous appearances at USAFE airshows here in the UK. The low level high speed passes on reheat were just amazing, I will never forget those wonderful times.
I have a BMW V8 is says raaaaawr. -I have a simple f-104 It says WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The 'problem' with SU-27 Flanker. -The sound comes before the actual airplane. Damn. That impresses me. -And no, no. F-104 'Widowmaker', -anoone that flies that is allowed to drink, not only taxying with an open hood. Its a rocket. Very short wings. Wrong angle on landing and its 400kmp/h to your death. -Imagine the buckets of sweat norwegian pilots have made...
Is this the plane that landed on Torp today? 26/6-2018? Very cool, very loud, it had a kind of low pass over my workplace before circling around and landing. Very Cool!
Originally it did indeed. Germany later (in 1968) opted to exchange that for a rocket boosted, upward firing Martin-Baker GQ 7A ejection seat though, after several failed attempts of Luftwaffe pilots to make an emergency landing instead of bailing out and getting themselves killed trying. That had everything to do with the way the Luftwaffe was using their F-104G's. If something goes wrong while you're doing Mach1 + groundhugging, the idea of ejecting out downward is not very appealing.
Even allowing for the high maintenance/operating costs, I don't understand why there is no longer an English Electric Lightning flying when there seems to be several Starfighters not just fast taxying but actually flying in various parts of the world. It is great to still be able to see these old birds flying.

A privately owned starfighter - there is nothing cooler than this on planet earth.
Good F-104 version with tiptanks, otherwise range limited to 1200 kilometers, with tiptanks extended to 2920 kilimeters...
Indeed except a Phantom
@@enricomandragona163 Is there such a thing? I hope so.
Ein wirklich schönes Flugzeug, leider oft auch viel verteufelt !
The most Beautiful Jet in the World
true
I was A crew chief on F-104TF for over eight years
one of them but in my opinion the sr71 is hard to best
Jawohl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that Howl.... 6:27
1:34 I'll do that the whole day :)
I love this plane. The sound, the power, the smoke, awesome!
That dirty old J79 engine!
@@SGBlackstar True, but I love it :)

Fantastisk maskin som kom til live igjen ved hjelp af et suverent gjeng entusiaster. RESPEKT !
Thanks. My Favorite Airplane. Originally, US Air Force Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.
had to be yank
Great video! The sound is so beautiful. Could film the Starfighter's arrival and flying display at Aalborg Airshow the same weekend. It was magnificient. :)
Nothing like the sound of a J-79 !! Better yet two of them!!
Airwolf howl?
Dank für die tollen Videos. Alte Erinnerungen mit viel Wehmut.

Sempre bellissimo gran macchina❤❤❤
Yes, there may be much faster, more capable aircraft today, but the Starfighter was the embodiment of an era, AND STILL LOOKS INTIMIDATING.
I love starfighter
3 Tails & no wings! Missile with a cockpit.
splendid video Erik Dahlen. I broke that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the wonderful work.
Excellent. A video with no music...
Just the coolest plane ever.
And I ended flying gliders TMG's and Cessna's c.a.
What an astonishing sound that J 79 makes.
The 427 big block of jet engines L-88!!
Increvebol cacys
F104 Forever
Wolf voice ;)
Was war das für ein schöner Vogel und der Sound ❤️❤️❤️kenne ihn noch vom JaboG 32 auf dem Lechfeld 😊
Great video of a beautiful plane. Thanks for sharing this video with us 🙏🏻 I saw this plane at Aalborg airshow 2018 and it was thrilling. 😃
Emozionante e non aggiungo altro; nk un cosa è doveroso dirlo ossia bravissimi norvegesi.
Was ein schönes Flugzeug, Erinnerungen an MFG1 Jagel 1980
the nicest plane ever
Er så rå design på det flyet,vi har en på sokkel utenfor der jeg jobber.Ser på den nesten hver dag :-)
Takk for videoen. Måtte rekke 16.30 flyet hjem så fikk ikke med meg Starfighteren.
Nice plane ever !!
Just love the sound of that J-79 starting up!
The Haul! Still gives me goosebumps.
fantastisk video

Groundspeed from standing start is amazing- I've never seen anything so fast in acceleration .
Several modern fighters have better acceleration due to their higher thrust-to-weight ratio.
👏👏👏👏❤

Fantastisk!!!
I was around starfighters as a child. My dad was RCAF Sweet memories.
Starfighter? Space Force Aircraft?
goed begeleidingsteam!
Thank You for Sharing this !
Tøft! Det er så flott å se den på vingene!
..why do they smoke?
older engines always smoked
Incomplete combustion producing soot. Modern engines burn more cleanly.
Didn’t the ejection seat exit the plane from the bottom because of the T tail?
Originally it did indeed. Germany later (in 1968) opted to exchange that for a rocket boosted, upward firing Martin-Baker GQ 7A ejection seat though, after several failed attempts of Luftwaffe pilots to make an emergency landing instead of bailing out and getting themselves killed trying.

Don Atchinson II worked in A.F. on C & D models,they origninaly came with downward ejection,we changed all to upward 1958-1959
Råeste fighteren !

I recently saw my first F-22 demo and i found it interesting that it has an extremely similar "howl" that the F-104 is noted for.
Best demo ever. I've seen it several times and it's better every time!
That's the intake system doing that!
