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 |
