F104 fundamentally flawed
Thanks for so many replies, both here and by PM.
I fully accept that the F104 may have been much maligned, and that many operators regarded it with such fondness. To be honest, that just adds to the aircraft's appeal as a subject matter. Much more interesting than a turkey with a charisma bypass.
I've got lots of quality leads already
Slightly surprised no-one has suggested I go away and write about Typhoon instead.
Keep 'em coming and thanks once again.
