The F-104 Starfighter was a groundbreaking aircraft designed by Lockheed in the 1950’s, known for its sleek, needle-like fuselage and incredible speed. Originally developed as a supersonic interceptor, it later evolved into a multirole fighter-bomber used by numerous air forces worldwide.

Italy became one of the most significant to field the F-104, particularly with the Aeritalia F-104S variant. This version was an advanced development of the original Starfighter, featuring improved avionics and weapons systems. The Italian Air Force relied on the F-104S from the late 1960’s until 2004, making it one of the longest-serving Starfighter operators.

Turkey also operated the F-104, using it primarily as an interceptor and fighter-bomber. The Turkish Air Force flew the aircraft until the mid-1990’s.

Canada adopted the Canadair CF-104, a locally produced variant of the Starfighter. Initially, the Royal Canadian Air Force used it for nuclear strike and reconnaissance missions, later transitioning to conventional attack roles.
