Recommended Posts

Another example of NMF early Luftwaffe F-104

Not quite sure if it would have a flight logo in the red band on the nose, I can't get a good picture of it better then what I have allready found on 916-starfighters.de

Cool Tonioski! If you finish it I'd like to see it :wasntme:

In the final years of RNLAF F-104 operations only two units still operated the F-104, 312 Squadron and the "Uitfaserings Onderdeel" or "Phase Out Unit" whose acronym in dutch was UFO. The badge was orange and either round or triangular in shape with the letters UFO in black. It became a normal practice for each crewchief to paint a "zap" on the machine he was responsible for.

D-8061 312 Sqn "Happy Hooker"

D-8063 UFO "Mirror Image"

I intend to do more as I find better pictures of the markings and the entire machines :rofl:

Another late machine with a crewchief zap.

Another joke that never seemed to get old was zapping other unit's or even countries machines. This F-104G was zapped when it overnighted at 5 Sqn's, a EE Lighting, base.
