There were quite a few operational squadrons of the Winged Rocket. As a child I remember watching the PR Air National Guard F-104s of the 198th Fighter Squadron (Bucaneros) flying around, and I even got to sit in the cockpits at Muniz Air National Guard Base in San Juan.

Google Earth needed to see the only F-104 left at Muniz ANGB, San Juan

I remember seeing in some aviation journal a picture of a Puerto Rico Air National Guard F-104 with large fuselage marking PR-*-ANG. In British aerospeak, “Prang” is the kind of landing you may not walk away from. The editors commented that the markings were most unfortunate for a 104.
