After a pilot almost accidentally ingested an L-pill instead of candy during a December 1956 flight, the suicide pills were put into boxes to avoid confusion.

F104 worked good unless you refitted it to play a completely different role than it was designed for... Looking at Germany
Well....who would have guessed that a zero length launch system in combination with a downwards ejecting seat could be a problem.
Who could tell?!?
Exactly! NOBODY!
What role was that? As a nuclear bomber?
IRC the F104 could top mach 2, which is pretty cool regardless.
Basically close air support and tactical warplane, it was meant to be a fighter jet/interceptor.
What happened to the pilot?
He had a nice candy 🍬
