Photo Comment

Although wearing USAF markings and operated by 58th TFTW, this in fact is German Air Force Starfighter 2369. German F-104 pilots were trained at Luke under the 2. Deutsche Luftwaffen-Ausbildungsstaffel F-104 USA (2. DtLwAusbStff F-104 USA). This particular aircraft was sold to Taiwan as 4392 and crashed on 31 May 1988.
