    JF-104A (formerly YF-104A, serial #55-2961) was modified with a hydrogen peroxide reaction control system (RCS). Following a zoom climb to altitudes in the vicinity of 80,000 feet, the RCS gave the jet controllablity in the thin upper atmospher where conventional control surfaces are ineffective.
