35th FMS phan rang Rvn

The 35th Field Maintenance Squadron (35th FMS) was a United States Air Force unit assigned to Phan Rang Air Base in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Activated at Phan Rang in the late 1960s, the 35th FMS provided essential aircraft maintenance and support services for the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing’s F-100 Super Sabres and other assigned aircraft. The squadron’s skilled personnel ensured high sortie rates and aircraft readiness under challenging combat conditions, directly contributing to air operations against North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. The 35th FMS remained at Phan Rang until the base’s turnover to the South Vietnamese Air Force in 1971, when the unit was inactivated or reassigned as part of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.
