The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a single-engine one-man supersonic jet fighter developed after the Korean War. Unforgiving to fly and sometimes called the "missile with a man it it", its career in the USAF was short, but it served at length in the air forces of West Germany, Japan, and Italy, among others.

There are several F-104 at the Luftwaffe Museum Berlin-Gatow.
