Now on the other hand what appear to be machine guns firing from the nose....

Doh...I saw the upper wing as the tail, which immediately made the lower one look like something completely different. NOW I see them....

I used to fuel those things up and wonder just how the hell those tiny little wings kept them in the air. Although I must confess that the F-104 worried me a bit more with their little stubs and I always stayed hunkered down in the ready bunker when they were landing.

If I recall correctly the F104 and the Phantom both have a power off glide ratio of about 3:1 (for every 1ft of altitude lost it moves forward 3 feet) so basically both of them fly more on thrust than lift. The wings just provide stability and control.

In comparison a B747 has a glide ratio of 15:1 so from 30,000ft it can glide almost 100 miles with no power, versus 15 miles for an F-4.

I was looking for general grievance like filing a general grievance... only general greivous came up. I have been defeated by the Dark Side.
