98th FIS

The 98th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (98th FIS) was an active unit of the United States Air Force, originally constituted during World War II. Activated in 1942, it initially performed air defense and training roles within the continental United States. Reactivated during the Cold War, the squadron became part of the nation’s air defense network, operating jet interceptors such as the F-86 Sabre and later the F-102 Delta Dagger. The 98th FIS was stationed at various key bases, including Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, before being inactivated in 1968 as part of broader Air Defense Command reductions.
