90th Fighter Squadron

From World War I observation crews to Alaska’s stealth fighters, the 90th has changed aircraft and missions for more than a century.

About the Organization

Its first combat crews helped ground troops find their way through the battlefields of France. Later generations flew attack and bombing missions in the Pacific, Korea and Vietnam, with a special operations chapter along the way. Today, its F-22 crews defend the skies and deploy from Alaska across the Pacific.
