That does look like a missle.

wow where did you get that sky! Almost unreal looking

Great shots Rob, and the classic last shot sets the scene, very nice

Wonderful...well done...

Very nice!!

Awesome!! The first shot is my favorite. If this isn't a missile then it's a needle mounted on a jet engine 

Fantastic shots.

AMAZING!  The lighting and reflections are all simply amazing!  And not to mention the wonderful horizon!



And if you want to see a REAL manned missile, look up the japanese "Boca".

I don't know about anywhere else but in Canada they called the Starfighter the "Widowmaker" due to frequent engine fails and several crashes.

Great pic. Thanx for the link.

Awesome shots Rob 8-)

I recall getting given a 1:144444444444th scale model kit of these as a kid. As i was only small, you can imagine the mess of glue, sprue and sticky fingers everywhere. However, unpainted as it was, it was still recognisable as a F-104 when 'finished'. A family member came along and said 'ah...the widowmaker' so thats what ive always known these as .

The RAF didnt have them but  the Luftwaffe did, and i presume they lost a 'few'....

Yup, I too have heard the "Widow Maker" moniker. That, along with several other if it's nicknames. The thing that I love is the haunting, yet awesome sound the engine makes! If you dont know what I am talking about... youtube it!

My goodness . Great shots man 8-).

The Germans made great planes bf-109, 110 e.t.c but they also made planes that made the kamikaze look sane

Nice shots. They remind me of the F-104 display team I saw at Mildenhall in the 1970s. Very fast & very noisy!

Yes, the spooky yet soothing sounds of the J79 engines. Smokey as hell though!
