This Starfighter was used by the spectacular display team "Vikings" during airshow over Kiel. In the early days of the Vikings, they used just operational Starfighters from the MFG flightlines. So each time you saw them performing they brought different aircraft with them. This Messerschmitt-built Starfighter was sold to Greece as 7433 on 25 October 1988. On the tail, the badge of MFG 2 is seen, but also the markings of the transition unit Luftwaffenversorgungsregiment 1 "F-104 Kommando" (LVR 1).
