I think there was a joke in Germany that said that almost everyone had an own starfighter in the garden for this plane was well known to be quite unreliable and a lot of crashes have been reported during it's period of service. Nice vid though! ;)
@CharlesBr0ns0n it was also named, Witwenmacher=Widowmaker, Erdnagel=Lawndart (direct translation would be something like: earth-nail), Starplumpser=starfloper or starplumper or by its pilots Rakete mit Flügeln=Rocket with wings. Frankly i don´t like it so much, mainly because it needs blown flaps to land, and it has probably something to do with like the ultimate dependable plane, the A-10. And the F-14. With the 104 egine out and you are in dep trouble. The big problem with it was corruption.
The german minister of Defence was payed by Lockheed to buy the Starfighter, over the mirage and a Enhanced version of the Grumman Tigercat. Bad choice in my opinion the Mirage had a far better Combat record and was more reliable. Well and the Grumman planes were solid planes with good handling, and they could take a lot of punishment.
@3168211 Of course, because Rise of Flight, MSFS, DCS series, LOMAC, iRacing, ARMA are such console exclusives.
