Starfigther Restoration at Volkel Afb.

Post by skywatcher »

A group of vollunteers works on F-104 D-8114 at Volkel Airbase. They all used to serve in the Airfoce.
There goal is to restore the F104G in flying condition. They started a Foundation to finance the project.

It would be great to see the Howling Starfighter in the Dutch skies again.
