Dear Bufe ,
Before offending , you should read carefully , and write more carefully.
I answered to a question concerning the 104 , being not my personal experience (as I already stated) but an experience of one of my colleagues.
I understand a nickname can hide people with fake experience , but despite your pride describing your personal knowledge on the argument... honestly , there's no real element that could prove you are nothing more than a flight simulator fantasy pilot.
In any case , if you and/or your friends have a clue of what an F-104 is made of , I am pretty sure you also know a man called Augusto Petrini.
Wich came to work with me in WindJet , eating with me on the same table with other collegues , and who is now working in Livingstone.
If you know him ( and you should , because he acted as a pilot until the 104 was dismissed ) then ask him about this , and he will probably give you all the info you need.
If you don't know him , well... then we can discuss about the reality of what are YOU writing.
Oh ... and by the way tomdocherty72 , here's a book that my friend writed on the experience of the 104:
