The F-104B was a two-seater variant with the maiden flight taking place on January 16, 1957 with the USAF ordering 26 F-104Bs that year. The first F-104B went operational with the 83rd FIS at Hamilton AFB. The F-104 had the Vulcan canon removed to make space for the second seat. The ROCAF operated a total of 282 aircraft in a mixture of 8 variants, A, B, D, G, J, DJ, RF-104G, and TF-104G. These aircraft served with 3 TFWs, 7 TFS and 1 TRS.
