The 122nd FW traces it's history back to the 358th Fighter Group that was activated in January 1943.  Flying P-47 Thunderbolts, their primary mission was bomber escort but as the Allies advanced, their role shifted to ground support and "tank busting".

The 122nd Fighter Wing currently operates a full squadron of A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft.  The "Blacksnakes" of the 163rd Fighter Squadron are based out of the Fort Wane Air National Guard (ANG) Base in Fort Wayne, IN.
