Wonderful photos, Walter.  The F-16, since it's introduction, has
always been my favorite modern fighter.  And who doesn't like a
Mustang?

As for the Starfighter, this is my favorite fighter of all time.  It's
simply an elegant bird - meat and potatoes, no frills.  I find it hard
to believe, though, that this is the last flying 104.  If my memory
hasn't completely deserted me, wasn't the CF-104 a Canadian variation?
 If that's the case, it seems reasonable that this is the last flying
Canadian Starfighter.  But the Italian air force saw fit to upgrade
and maintain their 104 fleet until the Eurofighter was available.  I
think they were flying them until 2000 or 2001.  There has to be at
least a few of those still in working order being used for training,
in private collections, etc.
