Normally during a target towing mission the darts were winched out and dropped afterwards. This F-104 had a problem causing the dart to stick underneath the wing. Landing with the dart still attached appeared to be a rough ride! This photo is copyright © Joop de Groot, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
