In 1962, this aircraft set the altitude and speed record for an operational F-104C while stationed in Hahn, Germany with the 479th TFW, reaching 92,000 feet at Mach 2.5. After retirement the plane cane to the NEAM but was heavily damaged in the October 1979 tornado that devastated the museum and caused the complete loss of many airframes. The plane was placed in storage until November of 2009 when restoration began. It is now on display wearing the markings of the 479th TFW when it made its record breaking flight.
