150th Fighter Wing

The 150th Fighter Wing, originally established as the 150th Fighter Group in 1957, is a unit of the New Mexico Air National Guard based at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Throughout its history, the wing has operated a variety of fighter aircraft, including the F-100 Super Sabre, F-4 Phantom II, and F-16 Fighting Falcon. The unit has participated in multiple federal activations, supporting both overseas deployments and homeland defense missions. In 2010, the unit transitioned from a flying mission to an associate role as the 150th Special Operations Wing, partnering with the active-duty 58th Special Operations Wing to provide training and support in special operations and search and rescue.
