Do you need a faster Pilot???? Try a Jet Engine.

Here's what I saw on a Interstate 81 on the last leg home after vacation in Connecticut.

This particular fighter is a F-104 Starfighter.

I don't know if its just a model or an actual flying RC plane....

I had to snap these pics for everyones viewing enjoyment. Feel free to add your experiences and ideas about this plane and its primary rocket booster, The Honda Pilot.

As a matter of fact the owner must have had the Afterburner on. He was driving 80-85 and passing people on the right.........

He had a Drawtite Hitch Installed with the trailer plug in to the left of the hitch. No crossbars installed.

Enjoy.

Ps. I was driving my 1995 4runner (3.Slow Automatic) because the wife kept the Pilot at home.

SORRY FOR THE HIGH RESOLUTION. I just thought everyone would like a clear picture.....

UFO?

Looks to me like a UFO is attacking the poor guy's Pilot - - How long did you follow? Did the UFO take him up to the mother ship?

UFO???

That aint no UFO its bug GUTS........

AHAHAH


In the first Pic you can almost line up the bug guts as exhaust from the jet engine.

I followed until just inside MD line, in which he split off for DC.

Don't believe that's an RC. F-104 = very small wings, not good RC candidate, unless it's a rocket.

pilots....need pilot

these pictures are very good.....did he see you and respond to you.. i guess he must have been very proud to show his imagination..and his artistic side.
that guy must have been in LOVE with this MACHINE apart from his other MACHINE ( airplane)
all PILOTS ( be it commercial...fighter...cargo airplane pilots) should buy a PILOT.....boy..imagine that.. at the tinker airforce base u see nothing but pilots driving pilots.

Probably not a rocket. Although the F-104 has been used as the design for many scale rockets I don't think this one is. It has landing gear and a rocket would use a parachute to land.

Some rockets gliders can glide back down. Some are even radio controlled. The F-104's wings are too small to make it an effective glider. It's glide speed would be much too high to safely control.

Rocket or not, this guy needs a set of my Rocket Racks to properly hold that thing!
