Those carrier launches do look powerful.

What kind of fuel where the rockets for the F-104 and F-100 using? Whatever it is, it creates a thick black smoke. I imagine it is a solid fuel, but the exhaust looks different from the solid rocket boosters I have seen on launch pads. Perhaps it is kerosene?
