 | | However, an updated Starfighter sold well abroad, particularly in NATO among the air forces of Germany, Canada and Italy, where high-speed fighter-bomber versions usually continued in service until the mid-1980s (and, in the case of the Italian Air Force, until 2004). |
 | | Most export Starfighters were fitted with Martin-Baker zero-zero ejection seats (having the ability to successfully eject the pilot from the aircraft even if the aircraft was at zero altitude and zero airspeed), which no doubt was comforting to pilots. |
 | | Their two F-104 Starfighters, a CF-104D 104632 "N104RB" and CF-104 104850 "N104RD" [with a third to be restored] were originally with the Royal Canadian Air Force and both later served with the Royal Norwegian Air Force before being imported into the US in private hands. |
