Description
The 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron was assigned to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, and in January 1972 became part of the 52nd Tactical Fighter Wing. On 1 January 1977, the 52nd TFW consisted of the 23rd TFS, 81st TFS, and the 480th TFS. In November 1983, the 52nd TFW underwent a major reorganization and became the first and only all-defense suppression wing outside of the United States. Under this configuration, each of the wing's three fighter squadrons flew a mixture of E and G model F-4 fighters. The airplanes were paired into Wild Weasel hunter/killer teams capable of locating and destroying enemy radar-guided, surface-to-air threats in any weather.
