496 TFS History
50th Tactical Fighter Wing - Hahn Air Base, GE
Per Hard Core: USAF aircraft operating from Hahn have included the F-86s, F-100s, F-102s, F-4s, and F-16s. I was in the 50th TFW from Jan 1970 - Jul 1973 (10th TFS and 496th TFS, IP, FE, Wing Weapons) and Jul 1978 - Jul 1980. (496TFS, CC). When I arrived in Jan 1970, there were three fighter squadrons at Hahn: 10th TFS, flying F-4Ds, 81st TFS, flying F-4C (WW), and 496th TFS, flying F-102s. Details of each squadron at Hahn are listed below. Overall, F4’s were at Hahn for 16 years, F16’s for 11 years, and 4 separate fighter squadrons, with different missions at various times. I know of four reunion rosters for Hahn (there may be more). See Hahn Squadron Reunion's below.
