I remember being very happy at seeing my first F-104.

This Flogger-G was TOC with the NVA as 563 in June 1982. Upon German reunification it became 2031 with the German AF but is now a gate guard for a mechanical enginnering firm in Zülpich.

This CL.II is the only surviving example and was the personal aeroplane during WWI of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial German Air Service Kommandierender General Ernst von Hoeppner. It then became part of Hermann Göring's pre-WWII collection that formed the Deutsche Luftfahrtsammlung (German Collections of Aircraft). After several pieces were lost during a bombing attack in 1943, the remainder were crudely cut up, packed onto wagons and tranported east for safekeeping. In 1945 the remnants were discovered in very poor condition near the village of Kuźnica Czarnkowska by the Polish Army.
