Perhaps the prettiest plane ever built, IMHO.

Purported to be the first line uttered by the pilots who flew them for their first time - "Nice aircraft - but where are the wings?" The "man-rated missile" - a straightaway speed demon & another Lockheed creation with the fingerprints of Kelly Johnson on it. It also had a really neat & distinctive 'song' in flight.

It was a missile when Brian Williams attempted to set the world altitude record.

Takeoff speeds were in the region of 219 mph (352 km/h), with the pilot needing to swiftly raise the landing gear to avoid exceeding the limit speed of 299 mph (481 km/h).
Climb and cruise performance were outstanding; unusually, a "slow" light illuminated on the instrument panel at around Mach 2 to indicate that the engine compressor was nearing its limiting temperature and the pilot needed to throttle back.
Returning to the circuit, the downwind leg could be flown at 242 mph (389 km/h) with "land" flap selected, while long flat final approaches were typically flown at speeds around 207 mph (333 km/h) depending on the weight of fuel remaining.

High engine power had to be maintained on the final approach to ensure adequate airflow for the BLC (Boundary Layer Control) system; consequently pilots were warned not to cut the throttle until the aircraft was actually on the ground.
A drag chute and effective brakes shortened the Starfighter's landing roll.
