Eagle History
The 9th Tactical Fighter Squadron was stationed at Holloman AFB, New
Mexico.The squadron converted from F-4s to F-15A/B’s in 1977. The 9th TFS was a training squadron with the 49 TFW (one of the three USAF F-15 training Wing’s in the 1980’s). The 9th TFS was one of the last units to operate the “old” version of the F-15A/B’s. The squadron transitioned to the F-117A’s in 1993
