Apropos of nothing...

Just saw on my facebook page that it is now 30 years to the day that the CF-104 Starfighter retired from RCAF service, you cannot begin to believe how old that made me feel...

By all appearances an elegant and worthy aircraft. Thanks for sharing this with us. 

Was fascinated to see this page for an international society dedicated to variants of the plane: http://www.i-f-s.nl/

Some great images there.

Elegant it was, and the victim of bad press by those who never flew her or worked on her.  She was an honest working girl in a very tough neighbourhood (Mach1 and 50ft above groundlevel).
