EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and powerful form of a Luftwaffe F-104G Starfighter, registration number 25+09, from Jagdtbombe Geschwader 33 (JaboG 33), as it gracefully taxis on the runway at RAF Honington in 1982. The Luftwaffe, the aerial warfare branch of the German military, operated a large fleet of F-104G Starfighters during the late Cold War era. This particular aircraft, adorned with the distinctive markings of JaboG 33, was stationed at RAF Honington for a period of time for training and collaboration with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The F-104G Starfighter, a single-engine, supersonic interceptor and fighter-bomber, was a formidable aircraft in its time, renowned for its exceptional speed and agility. Its distinctive delta wing design and pointed nose gave it a unique and striking appearance. In this photograph, we see the aircraft's powerful engine exhausts trailing behind it as it moves along the runway, a testament to its raw power. The presence of the Luftwaffe at RAF Honington was a significant moment in aviation history, symbolizing the close relationship and cooperation between the German and British militaries during the Cold War. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into this era of aviation history and the collaboration between two powerful air forces.
