The Friends of the Norwegian Starfighter’s ex-Norwegian AF, Canadian-built CF-104D Starfighter flew again for the first time in 33 years on September 28 in Bodø, Norway. The restoration of the aircraft began in 2003, culminating with this week’s first flight with Eskil Amdal at the controls.
You can enjoy the unique “howl” made by the Starfighter in these videos of the flight.

An incredible job,, hats off to everyone involved. beyond awesome.
The F104 had such a creepy howl, makes you wonder if the bad guys would have heard them coming from miles away. Very fine restoration. Nice to see the filthy exhaust too. Ya I know…not ecologically friendly.
