Primary units?

In this edit the primary units were switched to metric without discussion. It is a Lockheed (American) design, the F-104S flight manual dimensions and performance figures are all feet, inches, knots and miles. This change should be reverted, taking the opportunity to remove the myriad unsourced details in the specs section. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 18:23, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's a licensed production, I've no issue with using metric here. I think that's standard practice in most such articles, but I haven't surveyed it to be certain. I wholeheartedly support removing the myriad unsourced spec details. BilCat (talk) 18:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
