Lockheed F-104G NASA 012

Repaint of the Lockheed F-104G by SimSkunkWorks showcasing the historic F-104N NASA 012 . This aircraft, delivered to NASA in 1963, took part in high-speed chase flights and later the X-29 development program. Retired in 1986 after 4442 flights, it now serves as a display aircraft with preserved NASA colors and code "012". Repaint by Jan Kees Blom captures this iconic aircrafts journey from operational service to a display piece.
