50 years f-104

Actually some of the Lockheed guys I knew who were on the program were calling it the "Screeming Monkey." When it takes off it emits a high pitch shrill. Sounded a little like an F-104 or an F-117A.

Yes, then we too can have names like the Gannett, or the Nimrod!

Classic names, eh?

 

[FLYBOYJ]

I'll settle for Screaming Monkey.

I can imagine the presentation of this a/c.
Ladies and gentlemen, now it's time to present the most advanced, ultra modern, multi role aircraft manufactured by Lockheed-Martin, f35 Screaming Monkey!! applause

 

[Nonskimmer]

Cool! What's next off the assembly line? The Choking Chicken?

 

[FLYBOYJ]

That's goes to the Boeing Looser!

 

[Brunner]

Aaah, this beautiful little air intake, perfect target for birds at low altitude. Anyway was it protected against IR radiation in any way?

 

[FLYBOYJ]

It sucks in so much hot air it doesn't display an IR signature

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i just can't get over how ugly that thing is!!

 

[FLYBOYJ]

How right you are, but let's compare it with the post subject - now there's a good looking jet

 

[mosquitoman]

True, a plane that angular can never look good

My gosh the f104 sounds wicked! The screeching noise as it flies over the camera, now thats cool.
