This former Marineflieger (German Naval Aviation) serial 21+31 was delivered to Greece in June 1986. The Italian built aircraft, by FIAT, was retired in March 1993 at Araxos. Only weeks after that ceremony it was pictured at this base. The RF-104G (R for reconnaissance) can be recognized by the built-in camera bay just behind the nose-wheel housing. Only some 15 RF's were delivered to Greece (of the just over 100 Starfighters they ever had in total inventory). The RF's were all former German aircraft. Several of these never flew in Hellenic service and were only used for spareparts. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
