The huge National Science and Technology Museum in Kaohsiung has one aircraft on display, well-hidden in one of many nooks and corners. This F-104J wears "4303/62-12252" but is really 4502/36-8528.

Three Taiwanese Starfighters have been reported with these serials, two of them being preserved F-104Js. The real 4303 / 62-12252 was an RF-104G, last seen operational in the early 1990s. This one's real ROCAF identity is 4506 / 36-8565, the latter also being its original JASDF serial.

Proudly displaying clear markings, this is actually a bit of an imposter. It is one of two F-104Js marked as a former RF-104G. Built by Mitsubishi for the JASDF as 36-8565, it was withdrawn from use in Japan in January 1984 and obtained by the ROCAF as 4506 in 1987. Its service life ended around 1996 and it was moved here shortly after the turn of the century.
