Remarks: After the F-16 had entered service the F-104 Starfighter got a less glamorous task of target towing. D-6652 comes in for landing fitted with the red target towing pods. This aircraft has also the badge of the target towing flight (TTF) of the tail.
Remarks: Waiting for a buyer that never came. After being withdrawn from active service in 1984 Dutch F-104's were stored at Ypenburg waiting for sale abroad. This was never materialized. Eventually D-8281 ended up at the NlAF technical school.
Remarks: Close-up of the tail of FX-67 (the "7" is missing though...), which is currently attached to fuselage of FX-61 (wings are still missing). The aircraft is waiting to be preserved, but in very poor condition - together with FX-02 and FX-41 - between some office buildings at Kleine Brogel AFB. On the badge of 10Wing, one can read "Fortuna Favet Fortibus", which translated means:"fortune favors the strong". I hope, indeed, that this brave and strong one will find shelter soon...
