This two seat Starfighter is actually a Canadair-built CF-104D that served in the Canadian Armed Forces since its delivery in May 1962. It flew with the test squadron from Cold Lake, Alberta for many years, but she passed on to the Norwegian Air Force on May 23rd, 1973 when the Canadians disposed of a portion of their fleet. It arrived in Norway on June 14th, 1973 and received the RNAF serial “4637″, and served with 334 Squadron at Bodø. The Norwegians retired the old Starfighter on April 1st, 1983, when it went in storage at Sola Air Force Base. A few month later it returned to Bodø where Air Force trainees used it for ground handling instruction until the early 1990s.
