18th Aggressor Squadron becomes 18th Fighter Intercept Squadron
In a weird back to the future and Cold War designation, the USAF have redesignated an Alaskan based aggressor squadron - the 18th Aggressor Squadron as the 18th Fighter Intercept Squadron.

It feels like the 70's again, but thankfully the platform shoes and leisure suits aren't coming back.

Yeah, Wolf, just when I thot I could squeeze into my party suit with the bell-bottoms and such....sheesh.
My first squad after pilot training was the 18th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Grand Forks back in 1966, so the unit has a special place in my heart. I learned so much that allowed me to make another few years without becoming a smoking hole. The old troopsin that squad had very good ways of helping we nuggets "learn" without humilitaing us in front of everyone else.
