i have seen the two f-104s in our area ( dal/hou/sa/austin/waco ) and tom`s is one of them ..........he is a very good pilot....in fact he is a great pilot and very very experienced...........and thats what it takes to fly the f-104...........but i have never seen a f-104 pilot who wasnt "fighting it all the time" and that includes tom.........personally i think its a missile with flight fins aka wings.......

just my 2 cents
