  • In 1989 just prior to the 318th disbanding, Tactical Air Command put out an order stating that all TAC aircraft which had tail flashes such as the compass rose the 318th had would be removed. For that brief period, the 318th's tail code was "TC" which stood for Tacoma, the closest city to McChord AFB, now McChord Field.

  • @eodfan and albaviator, the 318FIS was stationed and headquartered at McChord AFB in Washington State. The squadron was disbanded in mid 1989 due budgeting. All of their F-15's went to the Oregon Air National Guard in Portland, and were eventually replaced by F-16's. The 57FIS is stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska.

  • Correct the 318th had the star burst tail the IS is from Iceland. i dont think they were there for very long, some rare footage of the IS. Today units take turns at iceland. The tail markings for Alaska are AK. the eagles from the 318th( i was stationed there 4 yrs) would never have went to the bering straits. with out being refuled a few times. the bears were looking for holes in our radar coverage. The days of the cold war. Each unit would pass the bear to the next from norad control.

  • @ivanlunaelizarraras they say hi and ask if the bear feels like being destroyed today.

  • @MickGalaxy yes it is the 318 it was my moms unit during the 80s

  • the 318 fis dragons my moms old unit and my home town go tacoma

  • Dude I feel like I'm in a Russian dance club. Not the song for watching air-air combat.

  • @albaviator Are you sure these are Elmendorf birds? The emblems on the vertical stabs look like they are from the 318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, which I believe was stationed at McChord AFB WA. Just wondering.

  • bet em russians were like HOLY SH@#!!!!!!!!!

  • Sounds like he "sing" the word: - "Idiota". Lol
