Established in Japan after World War II in 1948, the wing flew combat missions throughout the Korean War. Redesignated the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing in 1958, it remained in Japan until 1964. After a year in California, it moved to Southeast Asia, where its F-4 Phantom II crews earned the nicknames "MiG killers" and "bridge busters". In 1974 the wing relocated to Kunsan Air Base, South Korea, where it was redesignated the 8th Fighter Wing in 1992.
Jan. 2, 1967 marks a significant date in 8th Fighter Wing history following Operation Bolo, and when the 8th began referring to itself as the Wolf Pack.
For sixty years, the 8th Fighter Wing has served the United States in the Pacific Theater. The men and women of the wing continue to enrich the history of the organization known the world over as the Wolf Pack.
