Airplanes

We have large aircraft and a small aircraft. They look like jet fighters, but one is so much larger than the other. Are they really all jet fighters? The smaller airplane looks like it might be some kind of toy, like a Bede Jet. After closer examination I am pretty sure it is an F-104. The larger ones are a Convair Delta Dart and a Convair Delta Dagger.

All three of these jets were developed during the 1950's. The F-104 started a couple of years before the F-106, but they were basically contemporaries. The Delta Dart is roughly 50% larger in all dimensions than the Starfighter. They both had the same top speed of 1500 mph and they both carried 20mm gatling guns. The Dagger was considerable less capable than the other two and retired around 1980. The other two were in use up till the year 2000.
