13th TFW

The 13th Tactical Fighter Wing (13th TFW) was a United States Air Force unit activated during the Vietnam War era. Stationed primarily at Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand, the wing flew F-4 Phantom II aircraft and played a critical role in air combat and strike missions over Southeast Asia. The 13th TFW participated in numerous operations, including air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance, contributing significantly to U.S. air efforts in Vietnam and neighboring countries. After the conclusion of major combat operations, the wing was inactivated, but its legacy continued through its squadrons and their distinguished combat records.
