I can remember the F-104 as being a distinct favorite when I was very young - about five years old, because Bachmann Mini-Planes were introduced in 1969 - the year of "3 days of peace and music" (and also the first moon walk!). I could never keep still for Sunday morning mass, so I ended up in the so-called "crying room" which was a little chapel in front usually crowded with parents and their active children. I would play with a little Mini-plane Starfighter even after the horizontal stabilizer broke off and had to be re-glued, and, mind you, I still had it ten years later in 1979. All the time, I was unaware of the wing problem.
