The
Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was designed as a supersonic
air-superiority fighter and first flew in 1954. The
Starfighter was the first aircraft to hold simultaneous official
world records for speed, altitude and time-to-climb.
The U.S. Air Force purchased
about 300 F-104s in both one and two-seat versions. In
addition, over 1,700 Starfighters were built for various nations
including Canada, West Germany, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Taiwan and Japan. |
