35th TFW

The 35th Tactical Fighter Wing (35th TFW) traces its origins to World War II, initially activated as the 35th Fighter Group in 1940. It saw extensive combat in the Pacific Theater, supporting Allied operations in New Guinea and the Philippines. Reactivated and redesignated as the 35th TFW during the Cold War, the unit played a significant role in the Vietnam War, flying F-100 Super Sabres and later F-4 Phantoms from bases in Southeast Asia. Throughout its history, the 35th TFW has demonstrated adaptability and valor, contributing to U.S. airpower across multiple conflicts and regions.
