Starfighters
are the only fully operational, civilian owned
Supersonic Jet Team on the U.S. Airshow Circuit.
Rick
Svetkoff began his search for an F-104
Starfighter
in the fall of 1988. Talks of F-104s
being shipped to the U.S. gave him hope, however,
it was not until early 1995 that he purchased
his first F-104.
In
1997, in its first season, Starfighters
took the air show industry by storm with participation
in twelve of the largest airshow events in
the country. Currently, Starfighters
has two aircraft in operation and a third
almost ready to fly. In just two short
years and 30 successful airshows, Starfighters
is quickly becoming the most sought after
air performance team on the air show circuit.
