I'm a Tiger
This is an F-104 Starfighter manufactured by Lockheed aeronautics during the Cold War. This particular one is decorated for the tiger meet that NATO countries hold. This particular plane has extremely small wings and was designed as an interceptor and a nuclear delivery aircraft. The T-tail originally made it to dangerous for the ejection seat to be launched upwards, so in the earlier versions the ejection seat launched downwards which wasn't good either and earned the name of widow-maker.
