In 1960, the "Luftwaffe" received its first Lockheed F-104 Starfighter jets. The Starfighter remained in service for the entire duration of the Cold War, with the last being taken out of service in 1991. The "Luftwaffe" received 916 Starfighters, 292 of which crashed, resulting in the deaths of 116 pilots. The disastrous service record of the Starfighter led to the Starfighter crisis in 1966 as a reaction to 27 Starfighter crashes with 17 casualties in 1965 alone. The West German public referred to the Starfighter as the "Witwenmacher" (widow-maker), "fliegender Sarg" (flying coffin), "Fallfighter" (falling fighter) and "Erdnagel" (tent peg, literally "ground nail").
