--The F-104 is a supersonic jet fighter developed in the United States with the nickname of Starfighter.
--The Royal Canadian Air Force introduced 200 CF-104s and 38 CF-104Ds licensed by Canadia between 1962 and 1986.
--The Royal Canadian Air Force's CF-104 unit was deployed only to model conversion training units in mainland Canada, with all combat units deployed in West Germany and France.
--Since the CF-104 unit of the Royal Canadian Air Force was tasked with conducting a tactical nuclear attack by mounting a tactical nuclear weapon under the fuselage under the command of the NATO army, it will extend the cruising range without mounting the M61 Vulcan gun at the beginning of deployment. Equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank in the space of the Vulcan cannon and the ammunition.
――In addition, the aircraft was unpainted and only the main wings were painted white, so measures were taken to protect the aircraft from the flash of a nuclear explosion.
--In the early 1970s, the nuclear attack mission was canceled and tactical attacks with conventional weapons became the mission, and along with that, the M61 Vulcan gun was equipped.
