Blunt-nose Starfighter

(1/1)

Nico Braas:
Last Saturday I found this very peculiar photo of an F-104 Starfighter with a blunt nose. I have never seen such a variant and it could be a photo-montage. Any ideas about this version and what its purpose was??

No.1:
Hope I will have some better info untill the end of this week.

No.1:
I got some info from the USAF History services and this could be photograph of the F-104s acquired by NASA involved in experimentation with different radomes including a radome from a U-2.   The NASA number they believe is 820. I try to find some info from NASA officials and still wait for their reply.
 
USAF # F-104A-20-L0 56-790
