Talk:95th Fighter Squadron

Not quite...
This article states: "Upon arrival at Tyndall, the 95th transitioned from the F-106 to the T-33 Shooting Star, where they flew in support of Tyndall's Weapons Controller (now known as Air Battle Manager) training program." Don't think this happened quite as this sentence would make one believe. The 95th FIS was deactivated at Dover AFB in 1973 and the 95th FITS was activated at Tyndall in 1974. There was no "transition" of aircraft, personnel, etc. - the unit designation was just reassigned from an inactive squadron. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.162 (talk) 19:45, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

No bones about it...
Was curiously about the mix of past and present tense in this article as it says the 95th is still active at Tyndall in some places and not in others. However, a quick check of the official Tyndall website doesn't show the squadron as being there currently. Looking futher, it appears the 95th dispersed its aircraft following Hurricane Michael in 2018 to a number of bases, e.g., Elmendorf in Alaska. An article in Air Force Magazine in 2019 stated, "The service revamped its F-22 force structure following the storm, sending F-22s from Tyndall to Elmendorf; JB Langley-Eustis, Va.; and JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Tyndall is slated to receive F-35s to replace the Raptors." Apparently the dispersal of the 95th's F-22 Raptors was permanent and the squadron deactivated. It isn't clear if the 95th will reactivate as an F-35 squadron when those start arriving at Tyndall in, according to another source, 2023. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:4280:a710:b83e:182c:842f:167b (talk) 11:08, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

As the current Wing Historian, I can tell you that the people and the aircraft were dispersed, but the Air Force never published orders to move the unit, nor did the unit ever shutdown. It was simply on the Air Force books at Tyndall under the 325 FW, with zero people, and zero aircraft or equipment. Units move by orders and nothing else. Units are not dependent on specific people or even aircraft. This is why units are often established without anything or anyone on the ground. When the F-35s arrived in August, the 95 FS was simply populated and received the aircraft; there was not an order to move the unit, reconstitute, or otherwise. The 95TH never moved anywhere following Hurricane MICHAEL. Any references to JBER, or any other location represent a poor understanding of how units are officially managed by the USAF. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.140.28.61 (talk) 13:29, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
