When you have no money or ability to fly a real F-104, why not fly a large scale model?
There have been a lot of people who build their own F-104 which are radio controlled and powered by ducted fan or micro jet engines.
More information can be found on lots of webpages. Regarding the various F-104 models we have a few interesting websites beneath:
