"Pricing starts at $30,000 US for a single flight training program. Add a second flight for $23,000 more"

Sounds about right. And waaaay out of my league.

But it sure looks like a blast.

If I recollect correctly:
The tires on the F-104 are only good for 6 landings.
They required 7+ hours of maintenance for every hour flown.
(This one is a little fuzzy) Maneuvering speed was in excess of 180 kts and you couldn't slow below 175 kts.

Don't let that get around. Mrs. Fast just might pony up the money for me to fly it.

Wow, if that price is valid, it has gone WAY up. IIRC, they used to have prices on the website, and I was remembering less than $15000.

I went to Ukraine many years ago and flew the L-29, Su-25 and Mig-29
