History and usage of the F-104G Starfighter

The F-104G Starfighter is a development variant of the American Lockheed F-104 fighter, adapted to NATO requirements. The aircraft was used by many countries, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Norway, Greece, Turkey, and Spain. Widely operated during the Cold War, the F-104G served primarily as an interceptor, as well as a trainer and strike aircraft. It was distinguished by its aerodynamic shape and exceptionally high speed (exceeding Mach 2); its combat career spanned from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. For many air forces, it symbolized entry into the era of modern jet aviation.
