did they not have a very good safety record?
"Starfighters didn't like landing. Or taking off."Now I'm not an aero-engineer, but this sounds like a slight design fault to me...
Anything Chuck Yeager has a problem with has more than a slight design fault
I was wondering if the F104 had much of a combat record, it may have killed more of its own pilots than adversaries. That made me wonder what the combat record of post-WW2 aircraft is. Which aircraft represent value for money and which were expensive decoration, ignoring deterrent qualities. i.e actual combat hours. Damon.
ISTR the MIG-15 is the most battle-proven post-WWII aircraft. Korea, Pakistan, Egypt, Vietnam, etc
