History of the F-104G/S Starfighter Jet

The F-104G/S Starfighter represents modifications of the iconic American F-104 Starfighter jet, designed by Lockheed in the 1950s. The G and S designations refer to variants produced for NATO member countries—including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Greece, Norway, Spain, Turkey, and Japan. The F-104G version was developed as a multirole fighter and attack aircraft, while the F-104S was modernized specifically for use by the Italian Air Force. These aircraft entered service in the 1960s and remained in intensive use until the 1980s and early 1990s, firmly placing them in the Cold War era. They participated in NATO patrols, reconnaissance missions, as well as fighter and interceptor operations. The aircraft was known for its very high speed and slender silhouette, earning it the nickname "The Missile with a Man in it."
