Description
Lockheed F104 Starfighter . The Luftwaffe lost many through crashes hence the nickname the Widowmaker . The joke back in the 70's was if you want to own a starfighter buy an acre of land in Germany .
Best wishes for 2010
Cheers

outstanding capture and happy new year
terrific capture and very sad story/history!! Happy New Year!!
Cool shot and trivia.
Cool plane, but I think I'll pass on the ride! LOL Happy New Year!
GREAT SHOT
it was the best world's fighter those days... a beautiful monster.
A most splendid photo and history! Just looking at the design, certain features seem to lend themselves to failure. Like the huge opening in the back. It looks big enough to drive a garbage truck into! Makes a great museum piece though and excellent 'deteriorating plane' scene!
But it was a fighter plane through and through! Good shot!
Cool plane, outstanding capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
