Happy Birthday HIANG
On November 4, 1946, the four original units of the Hawai‘i Air National Guard received Federal recognition. These units were: the 199th Fighter Squadron, 199th Utility Flight, Detachment C, 199th Air Service Group, and the 199th Weather Station. We recognize this date as birthday of the Hawai‘i Air National Guard.
The 199th Fighter Squadron flew F-47 Thunderbolts, shown in the photograph above, from July 1947 through 1954. “Jugs”, as they were known, made up the bulk of the early Air National Guard aircraft inventory nationwide.
