Historical Background and Use of the Original

The F-104 ASA (Aggiornamento Sistema d'Arma) is an upgraded version of the legendary Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, used mainly by the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare). The F-104 in the ASA version served from the 1980s up to the early 21st century, acting as the primary interceptor for the Italian Air Force during the Cold War and modern times. The ASA version was equipped with new avionics and weaponry, extending the popular Starfighter’s service life until its retirement in 2004.
