EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Canadair CF-104 Starfighter 104828, a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces during the early 1970s. The CF-104 Starfighter, manufactured by Canadair, was a variant of the iconic American F-104 Starfighter, which was introduced into the Canadian military inventory in the late 1950s. This particular aircraft, bearing the serial number 104828, was assigned to 442 Squadron, part of the 1st Canadian Air Group. At the time of this image, the Canadian Forces had begun the process of re-serializing their CF-104 Starfighters, replacing the initial two numbers with a single digit '104.' As a result, the original serial number 12828 became 104828. The CF-104 Starfighter was a formidable aircraft in its day, capable of reaching supersonic speeds and serving as both a fighter and an interceptor. The image captures the CF-104 Starfighter 104828 in flight, showcasing its sleek design and powerful presence in the sky. The aircraft's distinctive shape, with its pointed nose and twin tail fins, is a testament to the aeronautical engineering of the time. The Starfighter's wings are angled slightly upwards, indicating that it is in a climbing turn, adding to the dynamic nature of the photograph. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Canadian military aviation during the Cold War era, offering a unique perspective on the capabilities and design of the Canadair CF-104 Starfighter. The image is a reminder of the important role that aircraft like the CF-104 Starfighter played in protecting Canadian skies and maintaining the country's sovereignty during a time of global tension.
