Thank you very much for the prompt response, General. 
I wish you many more years of continued good health and happiness. 
Q fr @NoliMarcelo Didn't the NF-104 have a tail chute that could be deployed to arrest flat spins? A: Every time the nose started to descend which would naturally cause increase in speed, the chute would slow it down keeping in a spin or re-starting the spin. @HISTORY @EdwardsAFB

Couldn’t have a drag chute, there was a rocket motor where the chute should have been.

In the video it sure looks like there is a drag chute for a while.

I noticed the chute deployed. Was that automatic or did you deploy it?

The plane looked fairly stable, except for the flat spin of course! I was wondering why the rudder seemed ineffective, was the engine producing forward thrust?

Makes sense, airmanship 101. Why did it have a chute if it prevented spin recovery?
