The second of three F-104A Starfighters upgraded for pilot training in the X-15 and proposed X-20 Dyna-Soar programs. With the addition of a rocket engine in the tail and reaction controls to maintain flight at 100,000 feet + altitudes, two of the aircraft were involved in accidents and this remaining one was mounted in front of the Air Force Test Pilot School.
