The XF-104 first flew in 1954 but the Starfighter was not unveiled until 17 April 1956. The photo was likely taken that same day as both an YF-104A and this XF-104 were flown for the press at Palmdale. The two XF-104 prototypes were powered by the J65 (Sapphire) engine. Consequently they had no intake shock cones and were noticeably shorter than the J79-powered aircraft. 53-7786 crashed on 17 July 1957. Lockheed pilot Bill Park ejected. Photo by: Doomis Lean / Life
