The RTF-104G1 was an all-weather day and night reconnaissance 
development of the TF-104G which was proposed to meet a Luftwaffe 
requirement.  The RTF-104G1 was to carry photographic cameras, 
infrared sensors, and was to be equipped with sideways-looking radar.  
The RTF-104G1 was not proceeded with because the Luftwaffe selected 
the McDonnell RF-4E Phantom II for this mission.
