Lockheed TF-104 G Starfighter

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is one of the most famous fighter aircraft in the history of aviation and also one with the longest operational life: its history began in the late 1950s and ended for some air forces in the mid-2000s.
From its unique aerodynamic design, characterized by a slim fuselage and a very small wing area, the combat-capable two-seat advanced trainer version TF-104 was developed.
One of the most widely used versions, the TF-104G manufactured by Lockheed, was a basic training aircraft for all fighter pilots before they could enter the cockpits of the F-104G or F-104S single-seat fighter versions.
Compared to the single-seater, the TF-104G did not have the 20 mm gun and centerline pylon, but thanks to the General Electric J79 turbojet engine, the pilot and trainer could have the same flying experience and performance as in the fighter.
Many NATO air forces such as Belgium, Holland, Norway, Spain, Turkey, Germany and Italy used the TF-104G for training tasks
