"Tigris"! This Greek F-104G of 335 MPK was painted in a famous "Tigris" (Tiger) colour scheme as a remembrance to the illustrious days of the squadron in the NATO Tiger community. The Starfighter was delivered under the Foreign Military Sales programme to Greece in June 1972. Before that periode the US delivered it under FMS conditions to Spain (as C.8-5 within the Spanish Air Force). In March 1993 the Greek Air Force retired the type. You can still picture this F-104G, its preserved in this colour scheme at the Greek Air Force museum at Tatoi.
