Die Lockheed F-104 Starfighter ist ein einmotoriges Überschall-Abfangflugzeug, das während des Kalten Krieges häufig als Jagdbomber eingesetzt wurde. Er wurde von Lockheed als Tagjäger im Rahmen der Century Series von Kampfflugzeugen für die United States Air Force (USAF) entwickelt. In den frühen 1960er Jahren wurde er zu einem Allwetter-Mehrzweckflugzeug weiterentwickelt und von mehreren anderen Nationen produziert, so dass er auch außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten weit verbreitet eingesetzt wurde.
