37th TFW

The 37th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) was activated by the United States Air Force in March 1967 at Phù Cát Air Base, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. The wing flew the F-100 Super Sabre, providing close air support, interdiction, and combat air patrol missions throughout Southeast Asia. After its Vietnam service, the 37th TFW was inactivated in 1970, but was later reactivated in 1981 at George Air Force Base, California, transitioning to the F-4G Wild Weasel and F-117A Nighthawk aircraft. Most notably, in 1991, the 37th TFW (Provisional) played a key role in Operation Desert Storm, flying the first combat missions with the F-117A stealth fighter.
