The 95th Fighter Interceptor Training Squadron was activated at Tyndall on 15 Aug'74. The squadron transitioned from the F-106 (then based at Dover and inactivated in 1972) to the T-33A. The FITSgave support to the Weapons Controller Training Programme at Tyndall as well as providing training to new T-Bird pilots and QF-drone chase support for the USAF Weapons System Evaluation Programme.
