The Canadair CF-104 Starfighter is a modified version of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter supersonic fighter aircraft built under license in Canada by Canadair.
It was used primarily as a ground attack aircraft, although it was designed as an interceptor.
It served with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and later the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) until it was replaced by the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet.
The CF-104 entered service in Canada in March 1962. Originally designed as a supersonic interceptor, it was used by the RCAF primarily for low-altitude attack and reconnaissance.
Eight CF-104 squadrons were initially stationed in Europe as part of Canada's NATO commitment.
This was reduced to six in 1967, with a further reduction to three squadrons in 1970.
Until 1971, this included a nuclear strike role, arming Canadian aircraft with US-supplied nuclear weapons in the event of conflict with Warsaw Pact forces.
During its service life, the CF-104 carried the B28, B43 and B57 nuclear weapons.
