Photo Comment

Now preserved at (the publicly accessible) Century Circle adjacent to the West Gate at Edwards. This F-104 had a long and varied test career with NASA and Lockheed up until 1977. She was obtained by the Air Force Flight Test Center Museum in 1985 and restored to static display standard by the 412th Test Wing Surfaces Team in 2006.
