Quite a rarity. The F-104F designation was given to a dual-control trainer based on the F-104D, but using the upgraded engine of the F-104G. It had no radar, and was not combat-capable. It was produced as an interim trainer for the WGAF but all 30 were retired by 1972. This one was later serialled 29+11

Ex 59-5008, to West Germany as BB374. It later became 2911 and was damaged due to bird strike at Soesterberg. The repair was stopped as all WGAF F-104F were grounded.

This F-104 was built at Palmdale as '59-5008' and shipped to West Germany in crates by sea for reassembly and was TOC by WaSLw 10 (OTU Operational Training Unit) at Norvenich AB as BB374 (BB+374). As 2911 (29+11) it was heavily damaged in December, 1970 during an emergency landing due to bird strike at Soesterberg AB. The repair was stopped as all WGAF F-104F were grounded and so the frame was placed on a pole at Köln-Wahn barracks but is now on display at Flugwelt Altenburg-Nobitz.
