Okay, I got a good question for you guys. I was told the F-104 had a really crappy range, but some pilots who talked about it said that it's range was on par with other fighters of the era. The fact that the aircraft had a very high fuel fraction, it's wing-loading was lighter than the F-101 and Ps was said to be about the same as the F-101 and the F-101 could fly very far...

Which one is correct if it's not classified?
