The four F-104 Starfighters belonged to the Italian military, had their base at Ghedi Air Force Base near Brescia in Northern Italy, and were not equipped with ammunition. After a ten-day NATO exercise at Airbase Bitburg, they started at 8.09 a.m. At 8.11 a.m. radio contact to the tower broke off.
What exactly happened in clear weather conditions is still not public today.
