Default Help. ID this Aircraft

I went out on a training scanner mission for Civil Air Patrol the other day and was tasked to see if I could find anything at a given set of coordinates. I spotted a something below the tree cover but wasn't sure what it was. The pictures show it's obviously an aircraft but I'm not sure what kind. Help me out please!

It looks like its a F-104 due to the intakes and short wings.

It does look like a 104. Does it seem there is a "hump" just rear of the cockpit similar to an A-4. Not saying it's an A4, just there looks like a hump is there.

IMO, the wings are too close(fwd) to the intakes and not tapered enough to be a 104 if you look at photos of one.

Default U2?




Where were you? Was this an actual crash or a plant for SAR training?

I don't think it's an L-39...I'd be really suprised if it was...looks single seat.
