Historical Information

The F-104C Starfighter was an American single-seat interceptor fighter aircraft that played a significant role during the Cold War. Developed in the 1950s by Lockheed, this aircraft was renowned for its revolutionary design and record-breaking speed. It served with the USAF, participating, among others, in operations conducted in Vietnam.
