Lockheed F-104 Starfighter

Lockheed F-104 Starfighter je ameriški enomotorni nazdvočni prestreznik in lovec/bombnik. Razvilo ga je podjetje Lockheed za Ameriške letalske sile, so ga pa uporabljale tudi številne druge države od leta 1958 do 2004, ko je zadnje letalo upokojila Italija. Je en izmed lovcev serije Century. Zgradili so 2578 letal. USAF je F-104C uporabljala med Vietnamsko vojno, Pakistanci pa so uporabljali F-104A v Indo-Pakistanskih komfliktih, Tajvanski F-104 so sodelovali tudi v konfliktu glede otoka Quemoy. Zgradili so tudi visokokrilni prototip Lockheed CL-1200, ki se pa ni prijel. Starfighter je imel med uporabo veliko nesreč, posebej v Nemških letalskih silah. F-104 je bil politično precej kontroverzno letalo, deloma zaradi dragih nakupnih pogodb, deloma pa zaradi sposobnosti in nesreč.
