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

Exactly mister, I got my letters jumbled up I recall TFW, TFS, TRW and TRS far more readily only dropped the wrong letter.

"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 :thumbs:

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