@Chewy2284 then the F-104 looked at me!
-
The F-104 was designed to do one thing well - go fast. It sacrificed nearly everything else for that characteristic. Now, if your one-way mission is to intercept Russian bombers over northern Canada before they reach the US, then going fast makes sense. But it's an airplane which absolutely does not want to slow down and get into a turning fight with anything. It can, but its stall characteristics are too deadly to encourage pushing its wing into higher angles of attack.

The TF-104 and the F-104s look like great vintage jets. However, I dislike the flight physics of these aircraft. Even the Mig-1 and the Sabre can take-off and land in shorter distances than this jet. :(
However, Still a great jet.

You are so absolutely right, the non-inflamable jet-A1 fuel would never burn at several hundred degrees celsius and the interior of the building is made completely of material that will not burn :-)
As a firefighter I can tell you that steel will bend like rubber at 600°C und its own weight. Get back to school and learn sth. about physics before denying simple facts about fire!

Another thing people tend to ignore with burning jet fuel is that the fire tends to burn other stuff it touches... wood, carpentry, paper, asbestos, oils from waxes and other highly volatile substances, people (unfortunately). I mean, really, how do you make a fire hotter? By throwing other stuff into it. Fuel a fire, and let it burn over a long period of time, it can easily make steel more pliable, thus reducing it's strength.

Woah, assuming the aircraft(s) were using Jet A, the flash point being 100 degrees f, open air burn temp of roughly 550 degrees, of course that's not enough to "melt" steel. However.....
Throwing a 250,000 lb aircraft into any structure is nothing like hitting a barn wall with a tennis ball friend.
