F-104 Starfighter
Described as the "missile with a man in it" the F-104 was a lightweight fighter which proved popular with NATO allies. Giorgio flew the F104 in the Italian Air Force starting in 1966 and accumulating almost 2000 hrs on the G and S models. Here are some images from his personal collection : F-104's in formation Head on In formation Crash landing - May 2002 INTERESTING FACTOID: The leading edges of the F-104 wings were so sharp the ground crew had to exercise special care not to be cut on them! |
