The Canadair CF-104 Starfighter was a Canadian-built version of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, a supersonic fighter aircraft that served with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and later the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) from 1961 to 1986. The CF-104 was designed as a low-level strike and reconnaissance aircraft, capable of carrying nuclear weapons and flying at speeds of up to Mach 2.2. The CF-104 was also known as the “Widowmaker” due to its high accident rate, which claimed the lives of 110 Canadian pilots. The CF-104 was replaced by the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet in the mid-1980s.
