F-104 Starfighter to Fly at Italian Air Force Centenary Airshow
March 6, 2023
A rumor has been floating around Italian aviation enthusiast circles for quite some time,
but now we can confirm it.
At the 100th Aniversary Italian Air Force Airshow, on June 16 – 18, 2023,
the mighty roar of a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
will once again thunder across Italian skies as it once did for nearly half a century.
Cape Canaveral-based Starfighters Aerospace will provide two of its four former Italian Air Force F-104s for the event!
This special event will be made possible by the cooperation between the Italian Air Force and Starfighters Aeropace,
the company founded by former U.S. Navy and Continental Airlines pilot, Rick Svetkoff.
The company maintains a fleet of Lockheed F-104 Starfighters from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center
and operates under authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The aircraft are available to government and commercial customers for a variety of missions.
