I don't have much definitive information on 104RB, but it seems worthy of Wikipedia inclusion if only for its world speed record which still stands. Please add better information and sources, as I have little available.
It's certainly notable and covered in many reliable sources, I have quite a bit on it. The reaction control system I didn't know about, must check up on that. As it was destroyed there might be a good case to use a non-free image. Cheers

I have found more on it, I need to get together several books. One says that the basic airframe was a CF-104. Reaction control system confirmed, also the extended wing tips were fitted for the later record attempts. I think these were borrowed from the same gate guard NF-104A that the nose came from and the owners (Edwards Test Pilot School I think) were not pleased that they didn't get them back!! There is (or was) a photo of the wreckage on airliners.net.
