In 1965 the Spanish Air Force Ejercito del Aire (EdA) received 18 Canadair–built F-104Gs through the Military Assistance Program (MAP). In EdA service the F-104s were designated C.8 with serials running from C.8-1 to C.8-18. They were assigned to Ala 6 (Wing 6) that was later renamed Ala 16. The F-104 flew with the EdA for 7 years accumulating 17,000 operational hours without the loss of a single Starfighter. Perhaps this was due to the skill of the pilots or the fact that they Spanish used the F-104 to do the role of interceptor that it was designed for. Or perhaps it was a combination of both factors. In 1972 they were replaced by F-4C Phantoms and returned to the USAF where they were transferred to Greece and Turkey.
