One of twelve F-104s temporarily deployed to Taiwan during the 1958 Quemoy Crisis. They were flown in C-124 Globemasters and re-assembled in Taiwan for Operation "Jonah Able" (returned to USA in 1959). Retired to MASDC Dec 4, 1967, the fighter was re-activated for the Royal Jordanian AF as 919 in 1969. After 1977, it was the gate guard at King Hussein Air College, Mafraq AB.
