The F-104C (Lockheed Model 483-04-05) was the tactical strike version of the Starfighter. It was designed to meet the needs of the Tactical Air Command (TAC), which had earlier found the F-104A to be unacceptable because of its low endurance and its inability to carry significant offensive payloads. This aircraft is from 435th TFS/479th TFW based on George AFB, CA, in 1958. In 1959 it was transfered on Moron AB, Spain. In 1962, during the Cuba Crisis, it was transfered at Key West to protect USA air space. In 1965 it was transeferd in Middle East on the Da Nang Air Base, during Viet Nam Conflict, whit MiGCAP mission.

FS2002 Sound for USAF Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon
These sound were especially recorded from a USAF Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon . Recorded at RAF Mildenhall 1999. A crew chief made these recordings possible, by letting me visit the ramp, to get closer to the aircraft. Amazing cockpit reproduction.Incredible afterburn sounds included.
The externals could be hazardous to your speakers and eardrums:-)Fancy buzzing the tower, then try this sound set, it will place you at your own private airshow.I reccomend using F-16C B030,By Paolo Trabucco. This model works well with the single engined sound config I made.
Sampled at 22050-16 bit mono ADPCM Format.
