The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was a supersonic fighter jet from the Cold War era. Designed for the US Air Force, it became famous for its incredible speed, exceeding Mach 2. However, it was also a single-engine aircraft, which made it less forgiving for pilots than some other fighters.

The Starfighter saw use by many NATO countries, including a modified version for the German Air Force, the F-104G. This variant had a rough introduction, with a series of crashes in the 1960s that led to safety concerns and a public scandal. Despite this, the Starfighter remained in service for many years, eventually being retired in the late 20th century.

In my childhood I lived nearby the Eggebek MFG 2 Naval Airforce airbase where the Starfighter was an every day sky experience.

The photograph shows a F-104 from MFG 2 - the printable parts are neutral with no additional signs.
