Constructed in 1966 this TF-104G was delivered to the West German Air Force in 1967. It was registered as DF+365 and then KF+239 until 1967 when it became 28+09. In 1975 the aircraft was sold to NASA and on July 2nd was coded as NASA 825 civil registration N825NA. In April 1989 the aircraft was placed in flyable storage until October 1993. The aircraft’s last flight was on February 1, 1994 and was withdrawn from NASA’s inventory and stored. In 1997 the aircraft was located at Moffett Federal Airfield.

The F-104 Starfighter was a revolutionary design with short razor-sharp wings. It was the first aircraft to be able to maintain Mach 2 not just in short bursts. The Starfighter shattered speed and rate of climb records that still are impressive today. This extremely high speed earned the plane the nickname “The Missile With A Man In It”. Because of financial considerations 15 or more countries purchased the F-104. The Starfighter flew with the USAF in 1958 and the last airplane was decommissioned in Italy in 2004.
