Normally during a target towing mission the darts were winched out and dropped afterwards. This F-104 had a problem causing the dart to stick underneath the wing. Landing with the dart still attached was a rough ride!
After the F-16 had entered service the F-104 Starfighter got a less glamorous task of target towing. D-6652 comes in for landing fitted with the red target towing pods. This aircraft has also the badge of the target towing flight (TTF) of the tail.
This is in fact the '22+01' of the German AF. It is preserved in the Technik Museum in Speyer, Germany. Today it wears the colors of '26+63', a Starfighter from the German Navy. The real '26+63' went to the Greek AF.
