AMI, the Italian Air Force, was a major operator of the F-104 and worked with Lockheed to design the most advanced Starfighter built, the S Model. 5-45 is the CI Interceptor version of the F-104S in its final updated... the ASA/M version.
Originally designed as a daylight point defense interceptor, the Zipper always suffered from limited range, so as in most configurations 5-45's combat load features two tip tanks which limits the missile load out to the BL 104 stations... and 5-45 is loaded with a typically fragged configuration for OPERATION ALLIED FORCE with a ASPIDE Mk2 SAR missile under one wing and an AIM-9L under the other.
