Lockheed F-104J Starfighter
Lot of model kits used during the fight against the monster, firing most of the time rockets.
Sidewinders in distress !
Real ones seen on the tarmac
All shots are edited very fast, this could not help to identify exactly the F-104J seen. Here is serial 46-8564, a Mitsubishi-built airframe c/n 683B-3064. A mechanic informs squadron leader that "8th Squadron is ready" but no Kokudan in any Hikotai using the F-104J was numbered like this.
Taking off by pairs. Once in the air, models replace the real F-104s.
