F-104 starfighter doing a really low pass. Awesome!!!!
.
Fast? That's not fast, the flaps are down.
I was deployed for a NATO exercise in Denmark a bunch of years ago (tactical radar) and we got on the deck mach+ passes by German 104's and Danish Drakken's on a daily basis. We were about 1/2 mile from the North Sea shoreline and occasionally there would be a wake in the water as they approached. TO KEWL
A couple years back, Mr. Greenamyer was selling DVDs at the races. I have one that has all the footage of the 104 & the bearcat record attempts on it. You could probably contact him through Aerochia
This clip shows some of the best newer F104 footage, including 9-plane fly-bys and the famous "999" red Starfighter with the prancing horse logo on the tail (the 999 a reference to the DUCATI 999F04 racing bike, and the paint and logo a nod to Ferrari):
That plane now sits outdoors in the middle of Ferrari's Fiorano, Italy test track:
