USAF F-104A/C Starfighter
The F-104 Starfighter served in the United States Air Force (USAF) from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Known for its sleek design and impressive speed capabilities, the F-104 was used primarily for air defense missions and played a crucial role in the Cold War-era arms race; and later became the backbone of many NATO countries' air arms. Despite its flaws, the F-104 remains a significant part of USAF history and its legacy lives on in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts around the world.
