In 1994 with restructuring the 22nd FS (Stingers)
moved from Bitburg AB, Germany to Spangdahlem
AB to replace the 480th FS. The 22nd FS acquired the 480th FS F-16 Fighting Falcon and 90-0829 was one of
these aircraft that at one point became the squadron flagship.
In 1998 the 22nd FS primary role
changed from general-purpose air interdiction to that of “Wild Weasel” suppressing enemy air
defenses (SEAD). The Stingers remained in this role until 2010 when restructuring de-activated
them and re-activated the 480th FS.
