What a day to remember. Was flown in to the base on an AMI C-130 from Ciampino. The AMI put on a day never to forget. My eyes were watering when those F104s flew by...pure nostalgia. Bene grazie mille
One of the most iconic Cold War fighters and a stunning beauty. I grew up with f104 as my dad was head of navigation and we spent a lot of time on the base as kids. The ‘haul’ still gives me the shivers
Remember this "haul" when i was a kid - the German Marine flew very close to the Baltic Seas Beach where we enjoyed our holidays - i remember it as it would have been yesterday... a few yrs after there where Phantoms and after that Tornados... this year there where some Eurofighters - but its not the same tbh...
F-104 Starfighter. Ein geniales Design. Schlank and ästhetisch, leistungsstark und überlegen. Der Archetyp des Jet-Abfangjägers. Der Ruf des Witwenmachers ist auch nicht dem Originalentwurf geschuldet. Es waren die Deutschen, die den Jäger in ein Allzweckflugzeug auch für den Bodenkampf umrüsten wollten und ihm so Blei unter die filigranen Flügel genagelt haben. Das spiegelt auch die Verluststatistik wieder. 108 deutsche Piloten verloren auf dem Starfighter ihr Leben - aber nur 8 Amerikaner. Das mag deutsche Tradition sein. Schon die ME 262 war als "Blitzbomber" einer ähnlich unsinngen Verwendung zum Opfer gefallen.
+Mike Palumbo Indeed, its caused by bypass air re-merging with gases exhausted from the core. Due to the nature of the 104's nozzle arrangement and bypass ratio even other aircraft equipped with the J-79 sound nothing like it.
It was very hard to fly for inexperiecned pilots used to slower planes, not for people with the proper training. Most of those accidents happened either a) in US service when it was first introduced, and no one knew how to fly a plane with such good performance and b) in German service, mostly because the Luftwaffe had just been rebuilt and both the ground crews and pilots were more used to WW2 prop fighters than actual jets, never mind a supersonic jet like the 104. In every other nation it served in (as well as in Germany after ~1966 when they fixed lots of things about their program) the F104 was actually very safe. For example, the Italian Air Force had fewer accidents with the 104 than the French Air Force did with the Mirage III, yet you don't hear anyone calling the Mirage a flying coffin.
Sehr schönes Video! Very nice video! Thank you very much! I remember then I was a child. This fighters are flying over our village in south of Germany. Yes it was very lout, but hot ! ! ! Greetings from Berlin HaJo
Lo abbiamo tenuto anche troppo ( anzi non dovevamo proprio adottarlo!) avremmo dovuto prendere il phantom di uso polivalente.Ma si sa nell'aviazione come in marina ed esercito di cervelli ve ne erano ben pochi
Scelta incomprensibile tenuto conto che anche la Grecia ha adottato il Phantom. Gli abbiamo anche inventato il ruolo CB visto che il G91Y era insufficiente!
Awesome video and SOUND of the F-104 Starfighter!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing! 😊👍👍
Köszönöm szépen!

I was there! I was 14 at the time, one of the best days of my life! I've never seen an airshow that good in Italy ever since..
Nagyon jó volt !
Which city of Italy I have been in Italy so many times I worked there a lot
Looks like I missed out on the worlds best airshow.. Amazing footage thanks!
Köszönöm, örülök, hogy tetszett+
104 Forever ! Thanks for sharing.
Szivesen !
Gyönyörű felvételek ! Kár hogy már nem láthatjuk repülni ezeket a gépeket !

Ich liebe Ihn. Starfigther the most beautiful bird in the world ❤️for me.
Beautiful video !!! 🇧🇷
The 104 dressed in red beautiful.
i was there....the farewell to the 104
It always amazes me just how small the wings are.
This aircraft has a sound like no other.

FallenPhoenix86 true!!

The F-4 Phantom has the same shriek/howl of the F-104.
@@billgund4532 similar but not like it
Sehr schönes Video!

Greetings from Berlin
HaJo
Köszönöm szépen !
All those 104s!!!! 😍😍😍😍
The Italians made the F-104 their own. Yes, designed in America, but fined tuned in Italy!
C'ero. Mi scottai il viso in un modo assurdo. Ma grande spettacolo
Klasse Video ! Herzlichen Dank :-)
Én is köszönöm.
Miklós Tahin Haben Sie selbst in der Luftwaffe gedient ?

Mis die kisten van 1964-1966, dat nachtvliegen met de F84F en de F104G op Volkel (64-4)
Wonderful wonderful thanks so much
Szivesen, nekem is nagy élmény volt !
Szivesen !
Comments about accident friendly with the 104 not true.
Inexperienced pilots were to blame really.
Bc in other countries it performed superbly 👌
Hard to believe she can fly with those tiny wings
If you throw a brick hard enough it will fly - for a bit.
