This Messerschmitt built TF-104G was delivered as KE+221 and became later 28+33 with Waffenschule 10 (WS10), a unit that trained Starfighter crews for the Luftwaffe. The Starfighter was unfortunately badly damaged on 5 April 1984 when its right main wheel got broken while taxiing at Memmingen air base. There were no casualties. The aircraft was brought to Eerding for repairs where it was assessed and calculated as damaged beyond economical repair.
