Hill AFB Museum is restoring a static F-104A and needs help locating parts! Any ideas?
Thanks for Looking!

Hi John. Yanks Air Force down at Chino has some 104 stuff laying around. I don't know if any is surplus to their needs but you might give them a call.

You might want to try to contact the folks at Starfighters, the F-104 demo team. They might have parts or know of a source.

Actor Michael Dorn (Worf on ST-TNG) recently bought two 104's from the Dutch so checking with them or the Germans or Italians, or Japanese are possibilities. It's too bad the US Gummint saw fit to grind up all the ones that were in storage in Tucson-

Those are all -G versions. very different from the A model. And what's cooler then a Klingon with a WMD

Is he gonna restore them to flight? First I've heard off this.

Geeze, and the wife made him dump the F-86 because it didn't have a back seat, apparently...

Wort makes beer, I was always concerned that he would become space sick and WORF in the flight control computer console-yes one will be airworthy, the other for parts.
