The 107th Tactical Fighter Wing is an inactive United States Air Force Unit. It was activated in 1950, when the National Guard reorganized its operational groups inder the Wing Base organization. It served in an air defense role until 1958, when it became a fighter bomber unit. It diminished in size during the 1960s, and was inactivated in 1964 when its remaining operational group was reassigned.
In the fall of 1950, the National Guard adopted the Wing Base organization system used by the regular Air Force since 1947. This system combined operational groups and the units supporting them under a single wing. As part of this reorganization, the 107th Fighter Wing was organized at Niagara Falls Municipal Airport, New York as the headquarters for the 107th Fighter Group of the New York National Guard.
The wing had an air defense mission, and in October 1952 was redesignated the 107th Fighter-Interceptor Wing. It was initially equipped with World War II era Republic F-47D Thunderbolts and North American F-51H Mustangs. In 1954, it received its first radar equipped Lockheed F-94B Starfires.
Since 1953, Air Defense Command had organized its dispersed fighter interceptor squadrons into groups that included the support elements for the squadrons. In 1956, the wing became the 107th Air Defense Wing and added the 105th Fighter Group (Air Defense) at Westchester County Airport and the 109th Fighter Group (Air Defense) at Schenectady Airport to the 107th Fighter Group. For a brief time in 1958, the 111th Fighter Group was also assigned to the wing. However, in the fall of 1958 the wing and its original groups began converting to the North American F-86H Sabre and assumed a fighter bomber mission, with the wing becoming the 107th Tactical Fighter Wing.
The wing upgraded to the North American F-100C Super Sabre in 1960, but at the same time began shrinking. In January 1960, the 109th became an air transport group. Then, in February 1961, the 105th became an aeromedical transport group, leaving the wing with a single group, the 107th. In March 1964, the wing was inactivated and its remaining group assigned to the 113th Tactical Fighter Wing.
