Operations. Replaced the 132 Fighter-Bomber Wing in Jan 1953. Trained to maintain combat
proficiency. Conducted air refueling, Sep 1954- Jul 1958. Rotated tactical squadrons to France, 19541956, and to Italy, 1955-1957. Served as conventional strike force in Europe, 1962-1963. Moved to the
United States in Jul 1963 and converted to F-4 aircraft in 1965. Moved to Phan Rang AB, South
Vietnam, in Mar 1966 for combat operations. In addition to its F-4 squadrons, also controlled several F100 squadrons in 1966. In Oct 1966, wing designation moved "on paper" to Da Nang AB, South
Vietnam, giving the 366th new personnel, equipment, and facilities. By early 1967, many of the wing's
combat missions involved flying cover for F-105 strike aircraft, offering numerous opportunities for aerial
combat with North Vietnamese MiG aircraft. Wing pilots scored 18 aerial victories in Southeast Asia. In
1972, gained a squadron with an electronic countermeasures mission and another with a forward air
control mission. Moved to Thailand in Jun 1972 with little change in combat missions but flew only F-4s.
Moved without personnel or equipment to the United States in Oct 1972 to replace the 347 Tactical
Fighter Wing at Mountain Home AFB. The 366th become operational with F-111F aircraft. In 1977, in a
three-way switch of aircraft, it transferred F-111Fs to a wing in England and gained F-111A aircraft from
a wing at Nellis AFB, NV. Thereafter, in addition to a wartime strike/interdiction mission, the wing also
trained replacement aircrews for the USAF's F-111A community. Acquired electronic countermeasures
capabilities with addition of EF-111A radar jamming aircraft in late 1981. Operated an electronic combat
range and provided mobile electronic range support for exercises held by other units. In Dec 1989,
deployed EF-111A aircraft to support USAF units involved in the invasion of Panama. The 366th also
deployed EF-111A aircraft and maintenance support personnel to Saudi Arabia in Aug-Sep 1990, and it
conducted extensive electronic warfare operations in Southwest Asia. In the summer of 1991, the wing
relinquished its F-111A aircraft and the replacement crew training role; its complement of EF-111A
aircraft departed the following year. In the meantime, the 366th transitioned to the composite wing
concept, beginning with the introduction of F-16C/D fighter and F-15E strike fighter aircraft in the fall of
1991, adding F-15C fighters and KC-135R tankers in mid-1992. A squadron of B-52G bombers was
also assigned in Jul 1992, and these in turn were later replaced by B-1B bombers in 1994. Regularly
