Origin and history
The F-104 Starfighter was a supersonic fighter developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force. This particular model represents the version of the F-104F that was used by the German Luftwaffe. Designated BB+377, the aircraft was part of Waffenschule der Luftwaffe 10 (WaSLw10) and operated from Jevers Air Base in Germany in 1961.
Curiosity
The F-104 Starfighter was known for its narrow fuselage and short but very thin wings, which earned it the nickname "the flying rocket". It was the first fighter aircraft capable of sustaining a speed of Mach 2 for extended periods of time. Although originally designed as an airborne ambush fighter, it was later modified for a variety of roles including reconnaissance and attack against ground targets.
Technical specifications of the real aircraft:
- Length: 16.69 m
- Wingspan: 6.36 m
- Maximum speed: Mach 2.2 (2,330 km/h)
