Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
Interceptor, Strike, Reconnaissance Fighter
Introduction
The Starfighter was once described as a delight to fly, but one mistake and it will kill you. It is one of the world's fastest fighters with a top speed of Mach 2.2 and a service ceiling of 58,000 feet. First delivered to the USAF in 1958, it was also sold to the German, Greek, Italian, Turkish, and Italian Air Forces. It could carry a variety of air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles and was powered by a single General Electric J79 turbojet that developed 17,900 lbs of thrust with afterburner. The Italian Air Force continued to fly it into the 21st Century.
