Explanations by veteran André (moinau):
"Left: represents the No. 1 Air division consisting of 4 wings as a contributtion to NATO for the defence of Europe after the war. It was first located in Metz/ France. Front: represents the first wing originally based in Marville France up to the mid 60s, moving to Lahr in 1967. Right: is really a mixture of the badge representing the amalgamented C.A.F. (Canadian Armed Forces) which happened in 1968 and 1 Wing Lahr which would move to Baden-Söllingen and become 1 Canadian Air Group (CAG) until 1988. Baden-Söllingen was closed in 1993 and Lahr was closed in 1994. This stein has inscriptions that were not originally recognized in the early 70s but were nontheless current for that period. These steins are becoming extremely rare and very much sought after." (A Thank You for all those detailed infos goes once more to André L., member of AudioKarma)

AKA the F-104 Starfighter. Beautiful aircraft with astonishing acceleration and climbing capabilities for the day. Basically an engine with short wings attached to it. It was designed to be a short range interceptor. It's downside was it required a very long runway and high takeoff speed because of the wing design, which was a compromise aimed at extremely low drag over lift. The pilot would push it into full afterburner, take off and basically stand it on it's tail and ride it like a rocket to altitude. he couldn't stay up there as long as other fighters, but he could get there much quicker.
