F-104G Starfighter Thöniwerk - Telfs, Tirol, Austria - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

"F-104G (c/n 8240) 24+90, German Air Force, preserved on a pole without markings inside the Thöni Works Museum in Telfs. The tail is from another Starfighter (original tail is found at Niederalteich)" - Source: (visit link)

"A set of modifications produced the F-104G model, which won a NATO competition for a new fighter-bomber. Several two-seat trainer versions were also produced, the most numerous being the TF-104G. A total of 2,578 Starfighters were eventually produced, mostly by NATO members. The F-104 served with the air forces of over a dozen nations. The operational service of the Starfighter ended with its retirement by the Italian Air Force in May 2004, some 46 years after its introduction in 1958 by the USAF.

The poor safety record of the Starfighter brought the aircraft into the public eye, especially in Luftwaffe service. The subsequent Lockheed bribery scandals surrounding the original purchase contracts caused considerable political controversy in Europe and Japan." - Source: Wikipedia
