  • Starfighters Aerospace”
    Starfighter of “Starfighters Aerospace” On November 3, 2015 I had the great opportunity to visit the “Starfighters Aerospace” company at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The Shuttle Landing Facility is the home base for Starfighters Aerospace. Its maintenance is located in the SLF 50,000 sqn feet hangar inside the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, FL. This all was possible with the great help of Wolfgang Czaia, who managed all the necessary paperwork for the permission of the visit and showed me around and told me a lot of details. Line-up of the fleet in front of the main hangar Wolfgang “Wolf” Czaia has logged over 2800 hours in type, out of approx. 28.000 hours total flight time in more than 150 different types of airplanes. Since 1992, test pilot for the reproduction Messerschmitt Me262 - the world’s first operational jet fighter - conducting all FAA -certification test flights, developing normal- and emergency procedures and writing the flight manuals. Wolfgang is a member of the Classic Jet Aircraft Association, EAA, Cascade Warbirds, the German Fighter Pilots Association, the National Space Society and the Society of Experimental Test Pilots CF-104D 1032 104632 "N104RB" (cn 5302, sn 12632) “N104NL” / “N166TB” / “N104RB” This two seat Canadian Starfighter was once flown by the Canadian Armed Forces since its delivery on May 1, 1962. It served the test squadron at Cold Lake for many years and when the Canadians wanted to decrease their operational F-104 fleet they sold this aircraft to the Norwegian Air Force on 23 May 1973. On 14 September that year it arrived in Norway receiving serial “4632”.

    Het grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS register Het register van het Luchtvaart Historisch Tijdschrift ‘LUCHTVAARTKENNIS’ en de daaraan voorafgaande ‘Mededelingen’ van de Afdeling Luchtvaartkennis van de KNVvL geeft een overzicht van hetgeen in de afgelopen jaren is gepubliceerd, m.u.v. de eerste jaargang, die helaas niet meer te traceren blijkt. Uiteraard is v.w.b. De eerste jaargangen selectief opgetreden, aangezien daarin veel summiere feiten (vliegtuiggegevens etc.) staan, die zo niet achterhaald, dan toch eenvoudiger elders te vinden zijn. Ook de diverse publicaties van het vooroorlogse Nederlandse burgerlucht- vaartregister zijn weggelaten, omdat deze na het verschijnen van het boek ‘75 jaar Nederlandse burgerluchtvaartregisters’ als overbodig kunnen worden beschouwd. Aangezien eerst in 1987 een volledige paginanummering voor het gehele jaar werd ingevoerd, wordt tot dat jaar de vindplaats aangeduid met jaartal en nummer van de betreffende aflevering van de ‘Mededelingen’. Vanaf 1987 geschied zulks per pagina. De in de Luchtvaartencyclopedie verschenen onderwerpen worden aangeduid conform de aflevering waarin deze verschenen. In een enkel geval uit 1985/86 bleek dit niet te achterhalen. Wanneer in een artikel de gehele productie van een bepaalde fabriek wordt weergegeven, wordt volstaan met de vermelding van de fabriek en worden niet de afzonderlijke types vermeld.
