The F-104 was the next fighter in the Century Series. It featured a sleek fuselage and small wings leading pilots to alternately nickname it the missile with a man
and widowmaker.
Despite this, it became a staple export fighter, as it was in service up to the mid-200s.
My replication can punch through Mach 2 in level flight at sea level, and has enough range to circumnavigate Kerbin (provided you fill up all the tanks first). Optimum performance comes with only the two tanks above the wings filled. In this configuration, it can reach the North Pole of Kerbin (barely).
