West Germany was the biggest user of the Starfighter, with 916 examples serving the air force (Luftwaffe) and navy (Marineflieger) from 1960 until 1987. The type had an appalling loss rate with the Germans - 292 examples crashed for a variety of reasons. The Luftwaffe's F-104G 24+05 is photographed in flight during September 1986.
