(Referring to the F-104 Starfighter):
Yeah, like any fast aircraft with low wing loading it was a real challenge to fly (see the B-26 Marauder) Did you mean high wing loading?

Only when the aircraft isn't flying inverted ;)
But otherwise ... yes.
One more thing about the F-104: the leading edge of its wings were so sharp it was possible to peel an apple using them. There used to be video of this out there, can't find it anymore. But it was pretty neat to watch.
