History and Use of the F-104G Starfighter

The Lockheed F-104G Starfighter is one of the most important fighter-bombers, which entered service with the air forces of many NATO countries from the 1960s onwards, including Germany, Italy, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, and Turkey. The F-104G was mainly used as an interceptor and ground support aircraft. It is especially remembered for its service with the Bundeswehr Luftwaffe, where during the Cold War it constituted the backbone of NATO air forces against potential threats from the Eastern Bloc. The Tigermeet version presented in this edition stands out for its spectacular livery inspired by NATO units' meetings featuring the tiger motif.
