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.
