F-104 Starfighter External Fuel Tanks


Recommended Posts

Can anyone confirm that the basic outside dimensions of the Lockheed F-104 pylon mounted fuel tanks were the same as those of the wing tip installed units?

I know that the tail fin configurations varied and that, given differering fuel capacity specs, there were, most likely, internal differences; but for the life of me, I can't detect any change in the basic proportions and size.

However, this assessment is based solely on poring over photographs, a very unscientific analysis to be sure!

Thanks in advance for any assistance...I'll be sure to thank you afterward, too :)
