The F-104s used by the Germans at Luke AFB, AZ, were being retired the year The Right Stuff was made and the producers were very lucky to be able to borrow one for the movie. You can just make out the "69" on the tail of the movie airplane, the number representing the 69th Fighter Squadron to which the jet belonged.
