Presume you mean 48th FW. If TF meant Tactical Fighter (Wing), the USAF dropped "Tactical" titles back in 1991/

"This visit is hopefully the first step of a friendship between the 48th Fighter Wing and Leuchars Airfield.” one can only pray this is true. Would love to see them up here. Especially during daylight

Now this would cheer me up a great deal if this was to become a regular exercise.
