Hi Guys,

Question here, the F104G used by the ROC (taiwan) airforce, were they of USA origin, or them was originally used by the Germans?

Thanks.

The ROCAF's F-104 program was run under the code name "Alishan" (Mountain Ali), from Alishan 1 to Alishan 11. According to the news release, the ROCAF had acquired 247 F-104s through the Alishan Program. These F-104s were mostly second-handed, their sources including USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and Belgium.

Thanks Lord Francois, the reason I asked was that I need to decide which ejection seat to use fo rmy F104G, it seems that SQ 41, and 48 were with ex-luftwaffe 104s, whilst the 7th had the original US one.
