The missile with a man in it
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a single-engine, supersonic interceptor aircraft which later became widely used as an attack aircraft. It was originally developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force (USAF), but was later produced by several other nations, seeing widespread service outside the United States. One of the Century Series of fighter aircraft, it was operated by the air forces of more than a dozen nations from 1958 to 2004. (wiki)

@BogdanX thanks for the review!
@BogdanX thanks!
@BogdanX thanks!
@BogdanX I would like to see how this would've done
@HistoricBirds ok, will do, although all I've done so far is a lot of flights in the Young Eagles program
@ThePilotDude Hey! I was looking at ForeverPie’s unofficial list of real life pilots and I saw you on the list. I want to do a short interview because I might learn to fly soon! please contact me on discord when you have the time.
@BogdanX what a shame. Personally I like the fact that you demand realism, and it's fun to try to make planes act like they should
@BogdanX ok, thanks for the upvotes, but why are you cancelling the challenge?
