Four Italian Starfighters visited Eindhoven air base (the Netherlands) for a squadron exchange with 314sq Redskins, operating the NF-5A/B. The quartet, arrived from homebase Grazzanise and were assigned to 10°Gruppo. This F-104S was built by by Fiat Aviazione/Aeritalia as an F-104S in 1972 and converted to ASA-M (Modificato) standard by Alenia in 1995. It was redelivered only in 1998. In 2003 it was withdrawn from use and initially dumped at its homebase. Luckily it was saved and now preserved on a pole at Santa Sofia (Italy) since May 2005.
