I also attended the ceremony with my son. Well done to the all who were involved! It was great to be able to show him the 104 which, as a kid, I watched in awe fly in West Germany.

Looks great. Awesome job. Now if we could only get all those 104 pieces rusting away at Markham to be fixed up so more people could appreciate history.

Need a little help and in a bit of a panic

Aeroplane Monthly would like to do an article on the Roll Out but our Camera persons chip corrupted and we lost ours.

Does anyone have pictures of the Roll Out they would be willing to give us permission to use for the article?

With photo credit of course

Great job and idea. Did you do that just using donations ?

If that 's the case: amazing! :prayer:

F-104 was really common in Europe around 1980, I think many tourist will enjoy to watch it.

The Starfighter Project was all funded by donations to the Alberta Aviation Museum designated specifically to the project.

Thanks for the kind words
