Photo Comment

This former Luftwaffe TF-104G Starfighter was handed over to Greece on 12 December 1988. It flew with 166 PM from Araxos air base up to March 1993. Only a few weeks after its retirement, the aircraft was photographed still at Araxos. In December 1993 it was moved to Larissa air base for a long period of storage., possibly up to November 1997. Then the dual Staf was moved again up north by road to Edessa/Panagitsa and was last seen there mid 2008.
