That's funny! I remember being at Ramstein one time and they had some F104's on the ramp, one didn't look right, it was a two seater, so I walked over to get a closer look and the landing gear was a mess. I asked about it in Ops. and the local behind the desk said, "Yeah, a student had a problem landing it, went off the end..."

I think someone said final bug speed on the 104 was always over 165...?

Nice, if you have a long, dry runway!
