Default Lockheed F-104 Starfighter

In article , DAN says...

Let's complete Miloch's series with some exotic zippers.


The Royal Jordanian Air Force acquired F-104s after heavy losses in the 6-days
war.

First they were bare metal, then painted in a camo reminiscent of he Israeli
3-tone.
Then a few were transferred to Pakistan, and the rest were used as decoys and
eventually scrapped.


I can remember going to an air show many decades ago and noting the warning that
the leading edge of the wings of the one they had on display were sharp...you
could prolly cut a apple with them.
