150th FW

The 150th Fighter Wing (150th FW) is a unit of the New Mexico Air National Guard, based at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Established in 1957, the unit originally flew fighter-interceptor aircraft and has been assigned various aircraft and missions over the decades, including tactical fighter and training roles. The 150th FW gained distinction for its participation in both domestic operations and overseas deployments, supporting missions in Operations Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom. In recent years, the unit transitioned to an associate role with the active-duty 58th Special Operations Wing, focusing on training aircrews for special operations and search and rescue missions.
