FMS serial 61-3030 incorrectly preserved as 61-12236. It's quite clear where this picture was made

Special marking of 3 FTW are worn by this IDF Ching-Kuo on finals at CCK air base.

Gate guard at CCK's main entrance on the southern tip of the perimeter. This corner is sometimes referred to as 'F-104 Star Fighter Park'. The jet was delivered under MDAP with serial 61-3030, which is therefore also its true alternate ROCAF serial. Interestingly, it did wear alternate serial '61-12236' at the end of its career (at least during the F-104 Retirement ceremony), but '13030' before that.

Withdrawn from use at Ching Chuan Kang in 1998 and put on display here within two years. It was acquired by the ROCAF in 1983 from the Luftwaffe, who in turn took hold of it under FMS with the serial that was re-applied in Taiwan as the alternate, painted high on the tail fin.

Do you see some hardened shelters? Most probably not, as they are very well camouflaged. This F-CK-1A, the indiginously built Taiwanese jet fighter named Ching Kuo, is seen during its landing at its home base. The aircraft is painted with a red tail as it belongs to the Ching Kuo display team.
