..... 6065: 63-13713? Both with the Hellenic Air Force...

Are you sure about the S/N 63-13713 but not about the 63-12713? However one source mentions "the 6065 63-13713, stored (dump) Araxos AB-fuselage only" while other ones say the F-104G 683D-6065 63-12713.

F-104G 63-12(3?)713/FG-713 ... not found yet.

Nice one Wojtek, my friend! I can't say that I'm 100% sure about #63-13713 not being #63-12713, as I just wrote it of the list that I found online...

Nice pics Taktik!

 

[Wayne Little]

No problemo Pal. I think it might have been a typo. It seems that all 104Gs of the numbers started with 6060 to 6078 were of 63-12*** serials.....

My pleasure.

Yep, probably a typo. All F-104 originally had the build year and then '12' at the start of their serial number, so 63-12***. They later changed to 63-104***, but the Greek aircraft were mainly 'second hand' from Canada and I believe Denmark, retaining the original RCAF serial numbers.
