Does anybody know the locations of fighter units in the USAF or ANG that operate in NY State? I know Niagara Falls doesn't and Syracuse switched to RPAs, any help is appreciated Wink

I believe SYR was the last of the NY fighters. Everything else there now(besides the Reapers) is heavy stuff (tankers, airlift, rescue, etc.)

Link is right. The 174th was the last fighter unit in NY State. It is still designated a Fighter Wing, but they fly MQ-9s. If you're looking for a Guard flying job, either as a Pilot or Sensor Operator, it is a critically-manned field right now, and the 174th has a really awesome mission. You make flight pay, you wear a bag, and you'll be helping out our guys on the ground, not only providing "Eyes in the Sky", but also putting warheads on foreheads when needed to do so.
