I have a question about typhoon? Can it use a double bomb pylon on any stations? There used to be a picture of it having a double rack on the fuel tank pylons. It may be a case of not approved or tested as it’s not needed

Ready Zippers _F-104_Circa 1958
Twenty-two single-seat Lockheed F-104A and a pair of two-seat F-104B Starfighters are readied for delivery at the Lockheed Aircraft facility in Palmdale, California, in January 1958. In two of the aircraft on the left, the General Electric J79-GE-3A engine has been removed, while one of the 9,300 pound thrust engines is readied for installation in another. Curiously, the removable one-piece tail section for one of the F-104As (56-0818) appears to have been pulled (or is being installed) on the aircraft bearing a different buzz number (FG-793, i.e. 56-0793). A total of 153 F-104As and twenty-six F-104Bs were built for the US Air Force. The Starfighter was unofficially—but widely known—as the Zipper for its Mach 2 top speed. lockheedmartin/codeone

The F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) variant is the world’s first supersonic STOVL stealth aircraft. America, with VMX-1, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 (VMFA-211) and Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23 (VX-23) embarked, are underway conducting operational testing and the third phase of developmental testing for the F-35B Lightning II aircraft, respectively. The tests will evaluate the full spectrum of joint strike fighter measures of suitability and effectiveness in an at-sea environment.
