This F-104G, actually owned by the German Luftwaffe with shadow serial "20+21", was transferred later to the Republic of China Air Force in 1983 where it flew with serial "4368". On March 24th, 1990 it was lost when it crashed during bad weather into a field near Hsinchu Air Base. This slide is part of my private collection and picture was taken by Bob Boyd.
