FSX German Air Force TF-104 27+27

The German Air Force flew the Lockheed TF-104 in the 1970s with considerable success, and this repaint honors one of those iconic airframes from Jabo G 36 (Fighter Bomber Squadron 36 at Hopsten). Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this package features custom textures by Hans-Juergen Kasper for the payware Captain Sim Lockheed TF-104. It only includes the repaint elements, so you will need access to the original payware model and its default texture resources. Everything here has been optimized to give you a detailed, era-specific livery that showcases the distinctive markings of aircraft 27+27 from the German Air Force.

Highlighted Aspects of the 27+27 Livery

• Accurate Color Palette: Reflects the gray-green camouflage scheme typical of German Air Force TF-104 aircraft in the 1970s.
• Squadron Insignia: Displays emblems associated with Jabo G 36, as used on operational Starfighters at Hopsten Air Base.
• Realistic Weathering: Subtle details on panel lines, rivets, and engine inlets capture a well-worn yet maintained operational look.

A Glimpse into the TF-104 Starfighter

The two-seat TF-104 variant served as a critical trainer version of Lockheed’s supersonic interceptor, known for its streamlined fuselage and iconic T-tail. In German Air Force service, it operated in both training and light strike roles, benefiting from the Starfighter’s high-speed capabilities. These features allowed it to excel in fast-response missions, while its tandem cockpit configuration proved invaluable for pilot instruction.
