F-104 Starfighter or T-38

Hi!

Area boundaries? No problem, I'm in my...oh, sh!t I'm half way into someone else's area! GD it! My head's on a swivel, looking for another -38. I'm going down to 10K in burner to get back where I'm supposed to be. I hope they don't spot it on radar-I'm way out there in one of the furthest areas, so I think I'm OK.

That is NOT happening again! If I'm every not 100% sure where I'm at, I'm going to break off my manuever and make sure!

I'll bet it's a lot easier with GPS now.

Pretty smart move considering what happened.

That's an understatement.

However, if you want a nice aileron roll/immelman/sliceback/loop/cuban 8/cloverleaf/lazy 8/barrel roll/split S combination...


Ooops... better check the area boundaries now!



The Talon's got all that and more... it only lacks the Spin Recovery!

My favorite aerobatic set-up back in ENJJPT was the loop/cuban 8/immelman/split S...

...lather, rinse, repeat. Burnt about 1500# of gas each time I was solo just hittin those over and over. Of course, after about 20 minutes of that, you start to wonder which way is up/north/home

Give this dude a ring. He would probably have a better idea than any of us-at least as far as T-38s go.

Here's another avenue... Link

The fuel bill might be a little steep, but it has Chick Magnet written all over it!

There were 2 of those MiG 23's sitting in SRQ a couple of weeks ago. The ramp guys said the owners were getting ready to fly them. Anyone know if they ever did?

Was it one of these ones?

 

[Brett Hull]

I don't remember. I didn't really get a good look at them.

Does anybody know what the cheapest classic jet cost.

As my buddy with the MiG-17 told me, "I'll give you my MiG. Free. Now what are you going to do with it? You need to hangar it, fuel it, insure it, and maintain it".
It isn't the purchase price, it's the price to have fun in it.
You can spend about the price of a top of the line Lexus and get into a super nice L-29, Iskra, or the like. But it depends on what you want.

If you would like info on obtaining a flight in the F-104, pm me, and we'll start the dialogue. Yes, there are also opportunities in the T-38.
