History of the C2 Seat and F-104 Starfighter

The C2 ejection seat was one of the key components of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. The F-104 was one of the most important fighters of the Cold War era—produced from the late 1950s up until the 1980s and used by many NATO countries, including the United States, Germany, Italy, Canada, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Turkey. The C2 seat enabled the crew to make a rapid escape from a compromised aircraft at various altitudes and speeds, making it especially valued during the dynamic postwar conflicts such as the Vietnam War. The F-104 Starfighter itself was used in combat operations, among others, by the Luftwaffe from 1960 to 1987.
