No ordinary surplus F-104 that - it was one of the Edwards chase planes
during the '50s and '60s. It was scheduled to be converted to an NF-104
(with the rocket engine and reaction thrusters) but was never actually
converted due to the program's cancellation.

The guy who's shooting for the land speed record says he's tried to keep
the fuselage mods to a minimum so it can easily be returned to flying
status after they're done.

Let's hope he breaks the record and doesn't wreck!!
