Service history of the F-104G with the RNLAF
The history starts with the fact that
Germany needed a replacement for their ageing Sabre, Thunderstreak and
Thunderflash aircraft. After considering several European and American
types, a redesigned Lockheed F-104C Starfighter was chosen as
interceptor, fighter-bomber and reconnaissance -aircraft.
This version of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was modified in several
ways from its predecessors. The entire fuselage had been strengthened to
permit an increased offensive load. This increased weight however did
not reduce the fighters performance in any way. Improved avionics also
gave it an all-weather capability. The installation of an NASARR radar
and firing guidance system and the newest engine-version, the J79GE- 11A
made it compatibly with the different role it hat to operate in.
Externally, the most noticeable change was the 25% increased vertical
tail. This new version the Lockheed Starfighter the F-104G first flew on
October 5 1960 .
As more NATO members were looking for a replacement of their ageing
fleets of aircraft Lockheed secured a deal with several countries for
the licences production of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter. So a program
was established to produce and equip the air forces of Germany,
Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Canada with Lockheed F-104G . Japan also
entered the program to produce its own sub version of the Lockheed
Starfighter the F-104J.
Delivery to the Royal
Netherlands Air Force
A total of one hundred and thirty-eight Lockheed F-104G Starfighters
where delivered to the Royal Netherlands Air Force (Koninklijke
Luchtmacht or KLu) of which twenty-five via Mutual Defence Assistance
Programme (MDAP). They were to replace the Republic F-84F/RF-84Fs and
Lockheed RT-33As that were serving with the Royal Netherlands Air Force
at that moment.
The Royal Netherlands Air Force would have like to obtained more than
two-hundred Lockheed F-104G Starfighters however after the support via
the MDAP was lowered the order was reduced to hundred and thirty-eight.
The Lockheed F-104G Starfighters delivered to the Royal Netherlands Air
Force came from three sources;
All the Lockheed TF-104G where newly built by Lockheed in the USA except
built number D-5702. This was the company’s demonstrator aircraft N104L.
It was delivered on 30 May1965, and the others Lockheed TF-104G were
delivered as air freight between 9 June 1963 and 24 April 1967 receiving
serials D-5801 till D-5817.
The twenty-five Lockheed F-104G that where received via the Mutual
Defence Assistance Programme where produced by the FIAT group in Italy
and resaved serials in the D-6xxx range. These aircraft where delivered
in the period between April 1965 and January 1966.
All remaining aircraft where produced by Fokker, receiving serials in
the D-8xxxx range. This badge of nighty-five aircraft consisted out of
seventy-seven Lockheed F-104G and eighteen Lockheed RF-104G delivered
between December 1962 and May 1965.
The first Lockheed F-104G delivered to the Royal Netherlands Air Force
where D-8013 and D-8022. Delivered to Twenthe air base on December 12
1962.
In addition, aircraft 8014, 8019, 8020, 8025, 8035 and 8037 from the
Fokker production line at one time wore Royal Netherlands Air Force
markings prior to delivery to the Luftwaffe.
Operational history
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter entered Royal Netherlands Air Force service in December of 1962 with 306 squadron based at Twenthe air base. 306 squadron served as the operational conversion unit for the crews for all the other Royal Netherlands Air Force Starfighter squadrons that were forming at the time.
In January of 1964, 306 squadron converted to the Lockheed RF-104G reconnaissance aircraft, and its responsibility for Starfighter crew training was transferred to the "Dutch Masters" operational conversion unit based at Leeuwarden.
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was operated for most of its service live from two main operating bases within the Royal Netherlands Air Force. In the interceptor role by 322 and 323 squadrons based at Leeuwarden air base. At Volkel air base in the fighter-bomber role with 311 and 312 squadron and in the reconnaissance role by 306 squadron.
During its operational live with the Royal Netherlands Air Force the Lockheed F-104g was never used in anger. In this period the Lockheed F-104G participated in many exercises and there was the QRA responsibility at Leeuwarden for the intercept mission and at Volkel for the nuclear strike mission ( although this has never officially been confirmed).
In the early 1980s, the Royal Netherlands Air Force Starfighters were replaced by the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. Conversion from the Lockheed F-104 began with the two interceptor squadrons at Leeuwarden air base in 1979 and ended in June of 1984 when 312 squadron stood down as the last operational Lockheed F-104G unit of the Royal Netherlands Air Force
e.
Show aircraft.
During most off its service with the Royal Netherlands Air Force the
Lockheed F-104 was not often used as a show aircraft as we know them
today although there were some exceptions.
From 1974 till 1980 Hans van der Werf was the official display pilot of
the Royal Netherlands Air Force for the Lockheed F-104 in over 120
displays at air shows. Starting his performances in the F-104 on the
65th anniversary of the Royal Netherlands Air Force the Lockheed F-104G
D-8091 was decorated with a special tail.
The decorated tail and shark mouth would be a trademark for his epic
demo’s in the following years.
Apart from this demo the Lockheed F-104G was not really flown as a
display aircraft ,but performance’s where made including a mass fly by
at Deelen air base.

Squadrons equipped with the F-104
Starfighter
306 squadron
Throughout its existence, 306 Squadron has been the only
photo-reconnaissance unit in the KLu, having formed at Volkel on 1
October 1953. Its initial equipment consisted of a dozen reconnaissance
conversions from the first batch of F-84E Thunderjets, to which was
later added eight similarly reworked F-84G and three RT-33A trainers,
with codes commencing at 'TP-1' and 'TP-19' respectively.
The squadron transferred to Laarbruch in September 1954 (via a
seven-week period at Buckeburg), receiving twenty new RF-84F
Thunder-flashes and a Harvard during 1956-57. These were taken to Deelen
in December 1957 and to Twenthe on 1 January 1963, where they were
gradually withdrawn during the year.
306 Squadron was chosen as the first KLu Star-fighter unit, and found on
its arrival at Twenthe that two aircraft had already been delivered, on
19 December 1962. With pilots already trained at Norvenich by the
Luftwaffe's first F-104G unit, WS-10, the squadron began the task of
instructing more aircrew in the operation of the new type. The first 27
F-104G were initially delivered to 306 Squadron up to August 1963, but
all were later transferred to 322 and 323 Squadrons once personnel had
been converted.
The reconnaissance RF-104G commenced deliveries on 13 September 1963,
and by January 1964 the squadron had 18 on charge and passed its
training role to the OCU (Dutch Masters), also at Twenthe. The base
passed from Air Defence to Tactical Air Command on 1 June 1964, and 306
Squadron later moved out to Volkel, where it joined 311/312 Squadrons on
3 September 1969. When the Northrop F-5 was ordered in 1966, original
plans called for a quantity of RF-5A examples for 306 Squadron, to allow
the Star-fighters to make up attrition losses in other squadrons. Events
proved this step unnecessary, and instead losses of RF-104G aircraft
were overcome. by fitting an Orpheus reconnaissance pod to standard
F-104G Starfighters, and posting them to 306 Squadron. During 1984, 306
Squadron is due to receive Fokker-built F-16A aircraft (presumably
designated RF-16A), and as such will be the final operational user of
the F-104 in Holland.
|
311 Squadron
In preparation for the arrival of MDAP Thunder-jets, the airfield at
Volkel, which had been constructed during the war to house Luftwaffe
units, was rebuilt during 1950 and handed over to the
Luchtstrijdkrachten (LSK) on 3 April 1951. At this time, four F-84E
Thunderjets were on strength, and on 1 May these formed 311 Squadron,
with 'PP- ' codes. Deliveries progressed slowly, and by September 18 had
been delivered. Seven transferred to 312 Squadron in January 1952, but
between April and June 311 Squadron re-equipped with the F-84G (serials
K-22 to K-40), and their remaining E variants were withdrawn for
conversion to reconnaissance configuration.
Thunderstreaks began to arrive in Holland in mid-1955, and once they had
been assembled the first batch was handed over by the US Ambassador on 9
December, with 311 Squadron as the recipient. In the days of the
Thunderjet, 311 Squadron had flown an aerobatic team, the 'Skyblazers',
only a few months after receiving their first aircraft, and this
precedent was followed by the 'Dash 4' team, established early in 1956.
The four aircraft gave their first public display at an open day at
Soesterberg, and later in the year went on to win an aerobatic
competition at Las Vegas, Nevada.
With the exception of the British and American air forces, the remainder
of NATO's aircraft strength was restricted to operations in the
conventional role. However, on 1 July 1960, 311 Squadron became the
first tactical nuclear strike unit outside of these two air arms,
carrying the atomic weapon in place of one external fuel tank for
release in a LABS manoeuvre.
Retirement for the Thunderstreaks was signalled by the arrival of the
first Starfighters at Volkel in June 1964; 311 Squadron, once equipped,
continued its nuclear strike role, but in 1968 a shift in NATO defence
thinking from 'Single Strike' to 'Flexible Response' dictated the
addition of conventional attack to the squadron's responsibilities. At
the same time, 311 joined with its sister squadron 312 in a central
servicing arrangement, with the result that aircraft of the two units
carry joint markings, The General Dynamics F-16 is in prospect for both
squadrons during the eighties.
|
312 Squadron
The second Thunderjet squadron in the Luchtstrijdkrachten, 312 formed on
1 December 1951 and its first seven aircraft transferred from 311
Squadron, also at Volkel, the next month. The code letters 'DU- ' were
allocated to the new equipment, together with the radio call sign 'Bonzo'.
G versions of the Thunderjet soon arrived with 312 Squadron and remained
in use until 1956.
On 3 April 1956, the squadron made its first F-84F Thunderstreak flight
and returned its 'Jets to the USAF. Together with its sister squadron,
311 it formed a joint aerobatic team which existed until 1958.
Following the absorption of 313 Squadron into the Jachtvliegeropleiding
(JVO), the F-84F Operationele Conversie Curses (Operational Conversion
Course) was transferred to 312 Squadron in January 1959, where it
remained until October 1961, when 315 Squadron took on the task.
Having previously been one of the first squadrons to accept any new
equipment, 312 was the last KLu unit to convert to the Starfighter
(mostly second-hand examples from other units), and transferred its last
'Streaks to Eindhoven on 1 December 1965. The squadron achieved full
strength in January 1966, and its Starfighters operate in the strike
role. They are themselves due for replacement by the F-16 in the early
eighties. Central servicing at Volkel has resulted in all the based
aircraft carrying both 311 and 312 Squadron badges, respectively on the
left and right of their vertical tail surfaces.
|
322 Squadron
During the first year of the Second World War, Dutch pilots escaped to
France and the UK. Some of them ended up in 167 (Gold Coast) Squadron.
When B-flight almost solely consisted of Dutch pilots, the squadron was
re-designated 322 (Dutch) Squadron Royal Air Force on June 12, 1943,
mostly at the initiative of His Royal Highness Prince Bernhard. At that
time, the squadron was stationed in Woodvale — near Liverpool — but the
squadron operated from several other bases. British bases: Hawkinge,
Acklington, Hartford Bridge, West Malling, Deanland, Biggin Hill, Dutch
bases: Woensdrecht, Schijndel, Twenthe and German fields: Varrelbusch
and Wunstorf.
At all locations, the squadron operated the same type of aircraft: the
famous Spitfire. The operational tasks were not that one-sided:
escorting bombers en route to France, intercepting V-1 rockets,
supporting operations in France and supporting troops on the ground.
322 Squadron also participated in the Battle of Arnhem and the air
fights in the corridor in the province of Brabant, Netherlands. In this
period the squadron lost 18 members; their names are still mentioned on
the squadron's list of honor.
On January 3, 1945, 322 Squadron was transferred to the Netherlands for
the first time to Woensdrecht Air Base, in the already liberated part of
the country. In October 1945 322 Squadron was deactivated but after the
war, in September 1947 the squadron — still operating the Spitfire — was
sent to the Dutch Indies, to bases in Kalidjati and Kalibanteng. In
October 1949 the squadron was moved back to the Netherlands and was
again deactivated. In 1951 322 Squadron was reactivated and moved to
Twenthe Air Base, still operating the Spitfire. Later, the squadron was
moved to Soesterberg Air Base. The Spitfire was replaced by the Gloster
Meteor in July 1952 and the Hawker Hunter in January 1958.
In October 1960 the squadron was moved to the tropics once again — to
New Guinea — for air defense tasks. After its return to the Netherlands
in 1962 the squadron was deactivated for the third time. In April 1964
322 Squadron was reactivated again and transferred to its current
location Leeuwarden Air Base as an air defense squadron, operating the
Lockheed F-104. With the decommissioning of the F-104, an era of almost
30 years of pure air defense came to an end. A few years after the last
F-104 had left the squadron, 322 became operational on the Lockheed
Martin F-16 on May 1, 1981, as the first F-16 operating squadron of the
Royal Netherlands Air Force. The squadron's task was extended from sole
air defense to ground attack as well as air defense.
|
323 Squadron
On June 27, 1948 — with the arrival of the first Gloster Meteor Mk.4 in
The Netherlands — the Jachtvliegschool (Fighter Pilot School) was
established at Twenthe Air Base. Nr. 1 Jachtvliegsquadron was
established on November 15, 1948. On April 14, 1949 this first Dutch
squadron operating jet fighters was re-designated 323 Squadron as a
result of Western European Union naming conventions. The squadron was
moved to Leeuwarden Air Base.In May 1950, 323 Squadron was responsible
for weapons instruction for pilots that were recently licensed at
Twenthe Air Base. Because of this, the squadron was moved to Twenthe Air
Base, though most of the training took place above the North Sea and the
aircraft often operated from Leeuwarden.
After a short period, the squadron was moved back to Leeuwarden on April
21, 1952. In 1954 the unit owned eight Meteor F.Mk.8's and four
F.Mk.4's, of which the latter only were used to tow targets. During the
1950's the unit owns more than 40 Meteors: Mk.4's, Mk.8's and T.Mk.7's.
The T.Mk.7's were not operational and therefore lacked the squadron code
Y9.
323 Squadron switched to the Hawker Hunter in 1957 as the last squadron.
On October 18, 1957 the unit's first Hunter with 323 registration code
made its operational flight. In 1960, the squadron's training task was
dropped.
On March 25, 1963 the Squadron's operational task was abandoned, though
part of the unit was still used for towing targets until September 1,
1963. The abandonment was a result of the transition to the F-104G
Starfighter. On March 17, 1964, the unit was reactivated after the
arrival of the first six F-104's at Leeuwarden Air Base. 323 Squadron
was the first European unit to fire the F-104's gun. Once all squadrons
were operational on the F-104, the conversion flight at Twenthe Air Base
was split up: one part was moved to Volkel Air Base as CAV and the other
part was moved to Leeuwarden Air Base as Transitie Conversie Afdeling.
TCA was integrated into 323 Squadron. In early 1978 the TCA was
deactivated and would remain inactive until the introduction of the
F-16.
On September 1, 1981, 323 Squadron was reactivated after it was
deactivated for a brief period to allow transition to the F-16 and
declared operational on April 2, 1982. In 1986, 323 Squadron was again
integrated with the Transitie Conversie Afdeling (TCA, Transition
Conversion Section), a unit responsible for the training of recently
F-16 licensed pilots.
On July 3, 1992, 323 Squadron was re-designated 323 TACTESS Squadron.
TACTESS stands for Tactical Training Evaluation and Standardization
Squadron (Tactische Training Evaluatie en Standaardisatie Squadron).
The squadron consisted of 4 flights: STAN/EVAL
(standardization/evaluation), instruction, tactical training, and a
support flight. The squadron offers training for instructors and weapons
instructors, also offers ICT (Integrated Combat Training), and sets up
exercises like DWIC and DIAWACS. The squadron remains fully operational.
Flights equipped with the F-104 Starfighter
|
Dutch Master's, "Operationele Conversie Unit"
With the coming introduction of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter with the
Royal Netherlands Air Force the introduction on the type was done by
Waffenschulle 10 at Novernich Germany. As the training at Norvenich was
only a introduction to the Lockheed F-104G there was a need for training
pilots on the weapon systems and tactics used on the Lockheed F-104G.
For this task the UCO "Operationele Conversie Unit" was formed at
Twenthe
air base to train the pilots in the two tactical tasked of the Lockheed
F-104 , Air defence and Fighter bomber attack in April 1963.
As pilots came to the unit from Norvenich the first two Lockheed TF-104G
arrived at Twenthe Air Base making this the first Lockheed TF-104G in
Europe as the German Air Force are using the Lockheed TF-104F at that
moment. In this period most of the pilots trained are for 306 squadron,
the first Dutch unit to resave the Lockheed F-104G
After a period of training complete squadrons with the introduction of
the Lockheed F-104G this comes to a end in 1965 when training of
individual is started.
This comes to a end when training is divided over the two Lockheed
F-104G operating bases Leeuwarden and Volkel in 1968 and the OCU is
deactivated after 5 years. |
TCA "transitie en conversie AWX"
With the adoption of centralised servicing within 322 and 323 squadrons
at Leeuwarden, the Lockheed TF-104G were combined into a third unit, the
Training en Conversie Afdeling (Training and Conversion Unit), on 1
October 1968.
This function was anglicised, the 'A' now indicating 'All-weather', as
the Leeuwarden squadrons where the Royal Netherlands Air Force
all-weather intercept squadrons.
|
CAV "Conversie and All-weather vlucht"
At the same time the Conversie and All-weather vlucht ( Conversion and
all weather Flight) CAV combined the Lockheed TF-104G of Volkel's three
resident squadrons, 311 and 312,operating in the strike role, and 306
photo-reconnaissance squadron.
Pilots posted to the TCA and CAV where normally ex-NF-5 crew, with a
minimum of 500 hours required before conversion to the Starfighter could
begin.
|
TTF "Target Towing Flight"
The Target Towing Flight was established at Leeuwarden AFB as a flight
to train pilots in using the gun in air to air combat. In the beginning
a “ flag” was used as a target. The down size of the practise was that
only direct hits could be counted. To counter this problem a new system
was acquired from France , the Alke Soule target system, in the late
1960’s.
The system consisted in a pod with an integrated winch under the right
wing and a dart under the left wing. The dart had an integrated
microphone to record the near misses. The program started with the
Lockheed F-104G in October 1971 with the first official use of the
system. With the introduction of the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting
Falcon it became clear that the system could not be used on the f-16 and
a new system was acquired. At first Lockheed F-104G from the resident
squadrons, 322and 323 where used.
With the introduction of the General Dynamics F-16 at Leeuwarden AFB at
first some spare aircraft where used and in a later date aircraft from
the units from Volkel AFB. In 1984 the last flight was made with a
Lockheed F-104G using the Alke Soule target system ending the use of the
Lockheed F-104G at Leeuwarden AFB and meaning the end of the Target
Towing Flight.
|
UFO means Uit Faserings Onderdeel,
Dutch for Phasing-Out Unit.
Back in the summer of 1984, the two last Royal Netherlands Air Force
units flying the Lockheed (T)F-104G at Volkel, 312 squadron and the CAV
(Conversie All-weather Vlucht) conversion all-weather flight merged into
one unit, UFO.
This unit continued to fly the Lockheed F-104G until early November '84,
to allow pilots who didn't convert to the F-16, and pilots who had yet
to start converting, to keep up their flying skills as long as possible.
UFO was an unofficial name, an initiative by some of the 312
ground-crew, who sprayed the round 312 emblems on the Lockheed F-104Gs
and triangular CAV markings on the Lockheed TF-104Gs with orange paint
and UFO in black letters early morning after 312 had stood down. Only
D-8091 had a triangular UFO emblem as it was assigned to CAV, not 312 by
then. The aircraft operated from the Safaripark by then, a long flight
line at the centre of the base (a former runway constructed during WWII
by the Germans).
|
|
End of the line
Whit the introduction in the of the
General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon in the early eighties the first
Lockheed F-104G where transferred to other air forces. The first
squadrons to stop flying the Lockheed F-104G where 322 and 323 squadron
at Leeuwarden airbase. Followed by the resident squadrons at Volkel
airbase.
In 1984 only 312 squadron was still operational in the Lockheed F-104G
this came to an end when the operational flying was ended on June 13
1984. On this day a farewell party was organized in the form of a
flypast with eighteen Lockheed F-104G Starfighters. In the following
moths some Lockheed F-104G remained operational with the UFO unit.
With the last group of pilots transferring to Leeuwarden air base for
conversion on the General Dynamics F-16 the Lockheed F-104G of the UFO
unit where flown to Ypenburg air base for storage and a possible sale.
On November 21 1984 the last operational flight was made after 22 years
in service with the Royal Netherlands Air Force .
During the last operational years of the Lockheed F-104G with the Royal
Netherlands Air Force many airframes where transferred to the air forces
of Turkey and Greece.
Some Lockheed F-104G remained in the Netherlands for different purposes.
These included instructional air frame, tow trainers and for display.
