`::I just received an e-mail linking to a set of XF-104 photographs, this image clearly shows the name 'Starfighter' on the nose. The aircraft is the first prototype '786' from another photo in that set but no date is given, it would be a later photo as it is operating from a hard runway instead of the desert at Edwards. Not much but something showing the name being used (and we can't use photos as reliable sources, I've asked before!!).     `
