F-104 in Viet Nam Question
Just got a new magazine today, and there a fine article about the F-104 in
Viet Nam. I do have a question: If they needed to carry both drop tanks and Sidewinders, did they prefer the Sidewinders be on the wingtip rails? If so, then were the tanks carried under-wing? The only photo they have that shows one armed with AIM-9's shows only the missiles on the tip rails, and no underwing tanks. I assume that configuration would be for local air defense only, but we all know how dangerous assumptions can be. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Don H. |
