Historic Cape Launch Tower Demolished (With Video Clip)
I think I remember seeing some pictures of the '104 carrying a Genie.
Test only, not operational. If I recall, there was a trapeze like device that would lower the missile some distance below the fusleage before igniting the rocket motor. As much as I like the '104 ( it's my favorite jet aircraft) I don't think it was a very good fighter. Lack of range, limited weapon carriage, etc. Kelly Johnson, in interviewing the Korean war pilots, missed the coming age of multi-role aircraft when he designed the '104. What might have been great for 1952-53, was not so effective by the time the '104 became operational in the late 1950s-early 1960s. Gene |
