[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2746081, member: 3099"] My dad got a ride in a F-104 when he was at Vandenburg. He said the pilot climbed out over the water at a good altitude and speed and offered to let him take the stick. He took him up on it...briefly. Told him what to do and then when he was ready he said "the bird is yours". No sooner than he had un keyed his mic he re-keyed it and said "if you don't mind could to roll us back to level?" It took him a minute but he got it mostly there. He said it was one hard bird to fly and he didn't know how they did it. This was in the very early '60s when things were a little different. [/QUOTE]
