ADC FIS and ANG nicknames and zapps

The 83rd FIS at Hamilton Air Base was the very first operational F-104 squadron in the world.
An interesting fact was that lots of pilots had their own aircraft and on a certain moment decided to add a cartoon or text zapp on the the front fuselage during the 50s.
We have no idea how many pilots had these zapps added but beneath we tried to make some kind of overview of the ones we know.
Aircraft seen with unidentified zapps were: 56-777, 56-781, 56-785, 56-795, 56-796, 56-805, 56-808, 56-810, 56-819.
also this was seen with a few aircraft from 538th FIS of which only 56-840 was identified. Unidentified zapped 538FIS aircraft included 56-788 and 56-854 (both in 1959).

Later on in 1963 both 331FiS at Webb and 319FiS at Homestead linked a number of aircraft to American cities and used these as nickname on the nose of their Starfighters. (See further beneath). Of course 319FiS picked city names from Florida.
