Historical information about the F-104C Starfighter

The F-104C Starfighter is a variant of the famous American Lockheed F-104 fighter aircraft, which debuted in the late 1950s. This model was used primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF) during the Cold War, as well as by other NATO countries. The F-104C was widely employed during the Vietnam conflict, where it served both as a fighter and a fighter-bomber. Aircraft of this series remained in USAF service until the mid-1960s before being transferred to NATO allies.
