104790 | Canadair Ltd. Canada | CF-104G Starfighter | CAF
Designated by Lockheed as CL-90 / F-104 Starfighter, Canadair Ltd. Canada was licenced to build the CF-104 single seat airframes. This Canadair single seat CF-104G Starfighter (c/n 683A/1090) was built in 1962 (s/n 1090) and registered as RCAF 12790.
''May 1st, 1962 : taken on strength.'' Served at RCAF Station Cold Lake, Alberta with No. 4 Wing at CFB Baden in late 1960s.
''On July 28, 1970 : renumbered as CAF 104790.''
On this photo, the Starfighter, part of 1 CAG based at CFB Baden-Soellingen GERMANY, was seen on static display at the RAF 1980 Mildenhall Air Fete.
Withdrawn from use, 104790 became an instructional airframe.
Scanned from the single original 35mm slide, which is part of my own personal collection. It is therefore with pleasure that I share this photo with the people of FLICKR.
Obviously, I also thank its author, to whom I give him all the credit.
