Yes, indeed, the F-104 is a very special bird.
A friend of mine used to fly navy on F-104G. Long ago. That thing nearly killed him.
A few months ago, we where at a model exhibition near Utrecht... ...and geee! A model builder had exactly his old ship in 1:48 scale on display. That was a moment....
Btw: I do have that exactly kit (F-104G JaBoG 33 flyout 1:32) on my pile.

Actually, the same man, two different companies.
In Schwerin, Fokker invented the fighter plane with the Fokker E.I / II / III. The reason for the so-called Fokker-plague. The Fokker Triplanes became famous and the Fokker D.VII was the only plane type mentioned in the peace treaty.
After the war, Fokker went back to the Netherlands. First, to realize more military planes, but soon starting with civilian airliners. After WW2, some Trainers, turboprop transports and some jet Transportsteuerung were designed and became quite popular with hundreds sold.
They produced license-build combat aircraft in hundreds, too, like the F-104.
Lateron, EADS (Mercedes Benz) got hold on Fokker and, in Short, did result in a cease of ops.
Some remains are still operational, mostly to provide spare parts.

Popeye,
actually, I don‘t.
let put some comments: „StuKa“ is an abbreviation for Sturzkampfflugzeug - dive bomber. The Luftwaffe had in the mid 30ies no real good bombsight, so they decided to deliver ordnance in a vertical way. Like the U.S. navy did, too. Since that is a general term, there where a number of different type capable of dive bombing. The largest of them should be the He 177, which is kind of a huge bird for such a business.
I think you refer to the Junkers Ju 87.
Focke-Wulf and Fokker are two different companies like Lockheed and Boeing.
Fokker was famous for his WW1 planes like the dr.1 triplanes and the d.vii built in the city Schwerin. When Germany was denied to build planes after the war, Anthony Fokker moved to his home country, the Netherlands. His company existed until the 1990ies.
Focke and Wulf where two aircraft engineers working together from the 1930ies in Bremen. Wulf died early, Focke restarted after WW2, designed Helis, cars and others up to the 1960ies.

How do you like this shot?
(No models, real stuff! It is the B-17 from La Ferté! Photo shot in 2009 at Hahnweide)
Léon did show a gun attack on an approaching B-17.
