Based on the United States Air Force's Korean War experience, it was no secret that it needed a new air superiority fighter capable of operating from forward air fields, accelerating rapidly from the ground, and fighting at high altitudes. As a result, Kelly Johnson and his team of engineers at Lockheed's Skunk Works designed a dynamic and striking aircraft that met the Air Force's need for a high performance fighter. The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was born.
This true-to-life docudrama tells the story of the Tactical Air Command (TAC), it's missions, planes, and pilots in an era when big bomber generals dominated the Air Force. At the 479th Tactical Fighter Wing at George AFB, California, y6u will witness the training endured by pilots in their quest to master the plane that was called a "missle with a man in it."
You will see spectacular flight scenes of the F-104, breathtaking aerial views, formation flying, weapons runs, in-flight refueling, takeoffs and landings. This video indelibly imprints the awe-inspiring story of the Air Force's heralded Tactical Air Command.
