About 91st fms

The 91st Fighter Maintenance Squadron (91st FMS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for the maintenance and support of fighter aircraft assigned to its parent wing. Activated during the Cold War era, the 91st FMS ensured the operational readiness of aircraft such as the F-86 Sabre and later the F-100 Super Sabre, contributing to the wing's combat effectiveness. Stationed at various bases, including RAF Bentwaters in the United Kingdom, the squadron played a key role in NATO defense missions and routine training operations. The 91st FMS was eventually inactivated as part of post-Cold War force reductions and organizational restructuring.
