Lockheed CF-104 Starfighter

The Danish Airforce (RDAF) took delivery "beginning in 1964" of 25 F-104G and four TF-104G from USA. The Starfighters replaced the North American F-86D used by ESK. 723 and ESK.726. But 29 aircraft wasn't enough for two squadrons. In 1971 the Danish Airforce brought 15 CF-104 and 7 CF-104D from the Canadian Airforce as a supplement to the 29 Strafighters already in service with the two squadrons. The museums Starfighter are one of the CF-104s received from Canada.
