The 122nd Fighter Squadron is stationed at NAS New Orleans, Louisiana. The 122nd was the first ANG unit to receive the F-15A/B's in August of 1985 the "Coonass Militia" started replacing the F-4C's. The F-15A's came from the 405th TTW from Luke AFB. The 122nd TFS was to be the proving ground for F-15 usage within the ANG. The F-15's deliverd to the 122nd TFS were "old" and some in bad shape. Furture more the squadron experienced fuel corosion problems due to the usage of JP-5 fuel, were the F-15As were customed to the JP-4 type. In 1991 al of the "Coonass Militia" jets were replaced with FY77 model F-15A's  from the 49th Fighter Wing out of Holloman AFB.
