366 Tfw

The 366th Tactical Fighter Wing (366 TFW), known as the "Gunfighters," was activated in 1953 and played a significant role in U.S. Air Force operations throughout the Cold War and Vietnam War. During the Vietnam War, the wing was stationed at Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam, where it became renowned for its combat missions and pioneering the use of the M61 Vulcan gun on F-4 Phantoms. The 366 TFW flew thousands of sorties, providing close air support, interdiction, and air superiority missions. After Vietnam, the wing relocated to Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, where it continued to maintain combat readiness and adapt to new aircraft and missions.
