- The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter - often referred to as 'The Widowmaker' - is an American single-engine, supersonic air superiority fighter which was extensively deployed as a fighter-bomber during the Cold War.
No footage depicted is mine or original. All footage sourced from various videos, edits and historical archives.

Absolute banger!
While yes, the plane was flawed af and had a very poor track record...god does it look good! Not to mention, few other planes could provide escort to the freaking SR-71
Came to say the same thing. It objectively wasn’t a great plane for what it was envisioned for, but my GOD was it a gorgeous piece of engineering… and it still holds a few absolute speed records if I remember correctly 🤔
sexy af
Love your edits man! F-104 is such a neat machine. Looks like..well…a starfighter!
Nice to know a few are still around, terrorizing the skies....
Aircraft composed by only a powerfull engine and flimsy wings, perfetto.
3:29 is just such an hard image. Both planes just fly there effortlessly, whilst the sun shines on them perfectly and, the song is in a quite relaxing phase. But yet those planes are one of the fastest in the world. This creates such a nice contrast. Same thing goes for the end scene.
Also from those angles you can really see some similarities between the Starfighter and the Blackbird.
I LITERALLY THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THE SAME THING EARLIER THIS MONTH HAHA :D
Great vid, perfect song, perfect plane, magnificent
Starfighter my beloved

West Germany bought some Starfighters before the Eurofighter
Over 900 Starfighters in Germany. ⅓ of them crashed and took over 100 pilots lifes. It was called the 'widow maker'. They'd been commissioned in 1960, so that makes it a whopping 43 years timegap between the Starfighter and the Eurofighter/ Typhoon. Between these jets had been the commission of the F4 Phantom, the Alphajet and the Panavia Tornado, not to mention the East German MIG 29s.
@@donkiel9988 they were used cretinously, ground attack, low flying and overloaded with stuff; go check how they did in italian service; this was a pure interceptor, the germans used it as a multirole
@@militantcapitalist4606 Yes, that's correct. Military doctrines are changing and at the end of the day the equipment has to be either adapted or changed. The multirole purpose suited the F4 probably more. With the Starfighter the Luftwaffe and the European industry was able to perform a learning curve towards the jetage. But the death toll left scars in both the public and political landscape in Germany.
@@donkiel9988 with a such airframe, using an interceptor as CAS aircraft is gonna be a tragedy
@@TheFlyingPancakeReal The airframe and the engine of the F104 G had been modified and spoiled the characteristics of it as a fighter, but it was chosen to take over (for example) the role of nuclear sharing. How this role was supposed to be performed isn't known to me, but a guess would be low level (below radar detection) penetration of enemy airspace, drop the bomb and never return back home...🤨
Thank you for this. It inspired me for one of my edits. I find it really fun to make edits and its why I upload them even when I don't get views. Creators like you have helped my passion grow and have inspired me time and time again.
Hey mate, sorry I didn't catch this earlier, but good for you, thats really lovely to hear! I checked out a couple of your vids, you got skill bro, good audio-visual syncing, and good footage selection. Hope you go far!
@@Kongjie57 thanks I actually didn’t see this until 3 weeks later. Thanks for all the compliments! 🙏
Another masterpiece
What a machine.
You did it again, Konj.
You cuted this video like a genius, to this music! Please make more aviation related videos!
Ayyyyyy! Beautiful widowmaker!❤
Kongjie boi at it again, love to see it bud!
the most multirole an interceptor can have
Ich liebe den Sternenjäger 🤙
The starfighter from the side looks like an Banana.
He gusto todos tus videos y nadie hace mejores ediciones que tú 🎉😮
Most beautiful bird in the sky
Anyone interested in flying the Starfighter? In Florida you can! (With deep pockets)

Fazedor de viúvas, o brigadeiro alemão pediu demissão após o governo comprar, foi a maior corrupção feita pela Lockheed Martin, um deputado japonês suicidou, até.

The music is crap (vintage 80s synthiepop). The plane itself was a logistical nightmare, it was connected with too big ambitions by the German airforce and it was squeezed into a tactical role it never was designed for. Although it had a devastating crash statistic, it was loved by the surviving pilots, who compared it to thoroughbred racecars. Some of these brave men still live to tell. Crazy cold war times.
You're welcome to your own opinions on music mate, what would you recommend then? I picked the song because of the name.
I agree the starfighter was an objectively poor aircraft. As I said in the description, theres a reason why it was nicknamed the Widowmaker. However, I very much love the look and design of the plane from a purely aesthetic viewpoint. For the same reason, I love many of the cold war era jets, their boldness, the cutting edge technology and designs of the time. The sleek metal finish, and the unwaveringly experimental daring of a new age of warfare.
Crazy is the right word.
@@Kongjie57 As music is a piece of art, the conception of it is different. So no offence from my side (sorry!), but I personally would have preferred some late sixties to mid seventies rock, fitting to the aera. Fascinating topic, as I have seen and I've heard these birds in duty protecting the Baltic costline against the Warsaw Pact .
@@donkiel9988 Understandable bro, yeah if not for the song name, it would not have been my first choice of music either.
Thanks for the respectful critique. It always helps mate.
I do quite like a bit of old rock! So thats certainly in the cards for next time ;)
WTF is a thoroughbred racecar?
@@Jessewren1968 Per definition it's a very fast car created in England, that should be only driven by the most experienced drivers. F1 for example. If you come from the United States something similar to Indycars. Very fast, fascinating but unforgiving and often (for silly reasons) very unpredictable. Exactly these characteristics make a Starfighter a Starfighter. That's what the pilots used to say.
The word thoroughbred originates from horse breeding.

Самый смешной и уродливый самолёт..из когда либо придуманных!!! 😅😅😅
Best plane ever...didn't like the music
