4520th Combat Crew Training Wing

The **4520th Combat Crew Training Wing** was an important United States Air Force unit established in the early 1960s to provide specialized training for aircrews. Activated at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, the wing focused on preparing pilots and support personnel for combat operations, particularly in tactical fighter aircraft. The 4520th played a key role in training crews for the F-100 Super Sabre and later the F-105 Thunderchief during the Vietnam War era. In 1966, the unit was redesignated as the 4520th Fighter Wing and eventually became part of the 57th Fighter Weapons Wing, continuing its legacy of advanced aircrew training at Nellis AFB.
