19th FMS

The 19th Fighter Maintenance Squadron (19th FMS) was a vital support unit within the United States Air Force, primarily responsible for maintaining and servicing fighter aircraft assigned to its parent wing. It played a key role in ensuring the combat readiness and operational capability of aircraft such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon during its active years. The squadron supported various deployments and training exercises, both stateside and overseas, contributing to the overall mission effectiveness of the Air Force. Through its dedication to aircraft maintenance excellence, the 19th FMS upheld high standards of safety and mission accomplishment until its inactivation or redesignation in subsequent Air Force organizational changes.
