In this video, we highlight the history of the 301st Fighter Wing. From our beginning at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas, our 457th Fighter Squadron (aka the SPADS) has flown some amazing airframes to defend our country. 301 FW Airmen continue to accomplish the wing's mission-to train and deploy combat-ready Airmen-and will continue that mission as the wing was recently selected as the Air Force Reserve Command's first F-35A Lightning II bed-down location and will transition from the F-16 Fighting Falcon to the F-35A.

301 FW Heritage Video

In this 3-part video series, 301st Fighter Wing Honorary Command Chief Rob Klint shares stories from his father, WWII B-17 Bomber Pilot ‘Bud’ Klint. Currently, Rob serves as the wing’s first-ever honorary command chief for the 2020 – 2022 term.

Yet for the 2018 – 2020 term of the 301st Fighter Wing Honorary Commanders Program, Klint was originally invited to serve as the 355th Fighter Squadron honorary commander, the wing’s active-associate unit. Klint explains how research led him to discover that the 355 FS flew 13 fighter escort missions for his father’s B-17 in the European WWII Campaign. Klint also shares several of Bud’s miraculous missions and how children of WWII enemies have ultimately become good friends.

In part one, Klint introduces himself, how he got involved with the 301st Fighter Wing and how he, through his father, is linked to the 355th Fighter Squadron.
