Ex-104632 CF-104D starting it's flight profile at the 2006 Oceana show

High winds meant the F-104 could not go airborne at the Titusville air show, however, knowing what the crowd wanted to hear, they were treated with some fast taxi runs...

This is really Luftwaffe 24+81. Struck off charge at Norvenich in 1973 and used as a ground trainer. Painted in Red Baron colours N104RB in 1982 and preserved. Repainted as DA-231 in 1997.

These Starfighters were ex Canadian Air Force and I think they also served with the Norwegian Air Force. CF-104D N104RB ex 104632 CF-104G N104RD ex 104850 CF-104G N104RN ex 104759

This is not the real Red Baron Starfighter that was used for speed record flights in 1977 in the USA (see https://www.i-f-s.nl/red-baron/). This aircraft is German AF F-104G 2481, which was wfu in 1973 and painted to represent Darryl Greennamyer's speed record aircraft in 1977. During the Nörvenich open day in 1983, it was still in these colors. It carried the tail of 2452 and the nose from 2494.
