74th TFS

The 74th Tactical Fighter Squadron (74th TFS), known as the "Flying Tigers," traces its lineage to the famed American Volunteer Group that fought in China during World War II. Reactivated in the postwar era, the 74th TFS served with distinction during the Cold War, flying aircraft such as the F-100 Super Sabre and F-4 Phantom II. The squadron saw combat during the Vietnam War, providing close air support and interdiction missions. In later years, the 74th transitioned to flying the A-10 Thunderbolt II and continues its legacy as a premier attack squadron within the United States Air Force.
