Delivered to NASA as NASA 012 in 1963. Repainted as N812NA / NASA 812 in 1970. Photo taken shortly before its last flight in December 1986. Preserved at Edwards AFB. Moved to Palmdale, converted to an XF-104 replica and put on display in 2002. Repainted as 012 in 2005.

Delivered to NASA as NASA 811 in 1963. Later given registration N811NA. Last flight in 1987 and stored at Edwards AFB. Moved to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, AZ by 1997 for preservation.

The second of three Starfighters delivered directly to NASA rather than transferred from the Air Force. Originally with code 012 in 1963, the aircraft was registered N812NA in 1970. Last flight was December 29, 1986, after which it was put on display at the USAF Flight Test Museum, Edwards AFB. The fighter was transferred to Lockheed at Palmdale, CA and converted to resemble the XF-104 by removing the fairing on the fuselage spine and inlet cones. Displayed at Palmdale in 2002, it was put back in NASA colors during 2005 (with the XF-104 mods still in place).

This aircraft never flew with NASA but is the former N104PJ and Belgian Air Force FX84. The real NASA 813 was destroyed in a collision with the XB-70 Valkyrie prototype.

NASA 811 F-104N conducts a missed approach before coming back to land and going on static display at the 1982 Norton show.

Over the years, NASA operated eleven Lockheed Starfighters for flight test purposes. Most were transferred from USAF inventory, but this aircraft is the first of three built by Lockheed expressly for NASA in 1963. Designated F-104N, and coded 011, NASA gave it the civilian registration N811NA in 1970. With it's last official NASA research flight on October 23, 1987, the aircraft was stored at Edwards AFB until transferred for display on the campus of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ circa 1997.
