The florescent yellow ladders look too high-tech for the 1960s. ![]() |

That's what occure when you use something in the wrong way. Starfighter was a peregrine falcon used as a Milvus (a black kite). Nothing good could emerge from this ... Imagine a Citroën 2 CV used in a Porsche Cup or a Ferrari off-road. And flying low level mission with an ejector seat jumping downards ![]() Well ... Thanks mike962 for these screenshots. IMPDB coming soon. -- Last edit: 2015-11-02 17:13:04 |

from what I've seen they used 2 real F-104 for runway scenes and flying scenes were CGI, and it wasn't bad for a TV movie !! here statistics Germany had 916 Starfighters 262 accidents of which 116 pilots killed including the son of the minister responsable for the decision to buy this plane ![]() ![]() they mention at end the name of all those pilots and date of accidents -- Last edit: 2016-05-08 14:42:07 |

Sadly i throw away the magazine where they wrote about the filming of this movie. But i think i remember they used some real F-104. According to this report, two real F-104s were used, but both were not operational. Link to "www.tvinfo.de" |

Two years ago, ARTE had broadcasted a documentary with a synopsis very similar ... I'll try to watch this TV movie as not only Starfighters are shown. |

nobody in their right mind would risk flying this death trap |

One of those accidents I witnessed. Luckily,the pilot lived? (Rheinland-Pfalz/Saarland border....I saw it from Rheinland-Pfaltz,(Neubrucke Kaserne)but I'm not sure exactly where the plane hit...the next town(Nohfelden)in that direction was in Saarland,this was in the summer of 1979.) -- Last edit: 2015-11-03 01:46:43 |
