48 F-106s were assigned the 94th FIS at two different locations: Selfridge AFB MI 03 Apr 1960 to 01 Dec 69
and Wurtsmith AFB MI 01 Dec 69 to 01 July 71.
The 94th FIS was transferred to ADC from SAC in December
1948 at March AFB with F-80 aircraft. In May of 1949 it was transferred back to SAC but in
April 1950 it was brought back to ADC control with F-86As. Later in the year it moved to
George AFB, CA. In February 1953 the squadron transitioned into F-86Ds. The unit
designation was transferred to Selfridge AFB in August 1955. In the fall of 1956 the unit
received F-86Ls which were flown until April 1960 when it transitioned into F-106As.
In December 1969 a move was made to Wurtsmith AFB where the 94th FIS was
deactivated and reactivated as the 2nd FIS
and the unit designation was transferred to TAC.

Osan AB, Republic of Korea, 1969
In June 1969, with growing tensions surrounding the
Pueblo Incident and the downing of an
EC-121 by North Korea, the 94th FIS deployed to Osan AB, South Korea
for six months. In recognition for its role in Korea, the Fighting 94th
was presented the ADC "A" award for outstanding performance by an ADC
fighter squadron. General McGhee, then commander of the 5th Air Force in
the Republic of Korea, also presented an award for outstanding
performance. |
