430th TFS

The 430th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS) was originally activated during World War II in 1943, serving as a fighter squadron in the Pacific Theater. After the war, the unit underwent several inactivations and reactivations, eventually becoming part of the United States Air Force Tactical Air Command. During the Vietnam War, the 430th TFS flew F-100 Super Sabres and later F-4 Phantom IIs, participating in combat operations and providing air support. The squadron was later stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, where it continued to play a key role in training and readiness before its eventual inactivation.
