I don’t think there are any operational combat-ready tails left. The Italians recently retired theirs, and I don’t think the Germans are flying them anymore. The only ones left are probably owned by civs.

I was once intercepted by an Italian F-104. I think the Taiwanese were the last to have them in service. They retired their last ones in Aug. 2005.
