The F-104C Starfighter is a multirole interceptor aircraft. It was introduced in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.[1]

History

At least one F-104 was present at an Osean scrapyard following a previous war. Avril Mead, her grandfather, and his veteran friends worked together to rebuild the aircraft using spare parts from other scrapped planes. After approximately eight years and the rest of them had passed away, Avril completed the F-104 and took off on a maiden flight. An Osean Air Defense Force F-15C Eagle later shot her down, destroying the F-104.[2]

Formerly retired aircraft were also brought back into operation with the Spare Squadron.

Game Analysis

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

"A slim supersonic interceptor from the Century series of fighters. Its thrusters and small, thin, trapezoidal wings allow it to fly at great speeds, meaning it even stands up to more modern craft. Its nickname is "Starfighter"."
