481st TFS

The 481st Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS) was activated during World War II and later reactivated as part of the United States Air Force. During the Vietnam War, the 481st TFS operated primarily out of Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, flying the F-100 Super Sabre. The squadron was deployed to Southeast Asia, where it conducted combat missions including ground attack, close air support, and interdiction operations. The unit was eventually inactivated in the early 1970s as part of post-war drawdowns and restructuring within the Air Force.
