Facts and history of the F-104 Starfighter in Turkey

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is one of the most significant fighters of the Cold War era, famous for its extremely distinctive silhouette and performance. Designed in the United States, it was used by many NATO countries, including Turkey, which received both F-104G (fighter-bomber) and F-104S (increased air-to-air weapon capacity) variants. The Turkish Air Force operated these aircraft from the 1960s until the early 21st century, using them for patrol, defensive, and training missions. The Starfighters made a significant contribution to the development of Turkish military aviation, becoming a symbol of modernization and NATO integration.
