433rd TFTS

The 433rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron (TFTS) was a unit of the United States Air Force that played a significant role in training fighter pilots during the Cold War era. Originally activated during World War II, the squadron was later reactivated and assigned to the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Throughout its active years, the 433rd TFTS was primarily responsible for training pilots on the F-111 Aardvark, a versatile tactical fighter-bomber. The squadron contributed to enhancing the combat readiness of USAF aircrews until its inactivation in 1980.
