The 60th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (60th FIS) was a unit of the United States Air Force, originally activated during World War II in 1941. Initially formed as a pursuit squadron, it served in various air defense and combat roles, notably providing air cover in the European and Mediterranean Theaters. After the war, the squadron was reactivated during the Cold War, flying aircraft such as the F-94 Starfire and F-101 Voodoo to defend North American airspace as part of the Air Defense Command. The 60th FIS was eventually inactivated in 1971, marking the end of its distinguished service in American air defense history.
