EUROPE’S FESTIVAL OF AVIATION
Bitburg Airbase History
The Former Home of the US Air Force and the New Home of AviationExpo Europe
Bitburg Air Base was a NATO base during the Cold War, and the home of the US Air Force 36th Fighter Wing between 1952–1994. It is located 2 miles (3 kms) south-east of Bitburg, 20 miles (32 kms) north of Trier, and 135 miles (217 kms) west of Wiesbaden. Construction of the airbase began in western Germany’s Eifel mountains in Rheinland Pfalz in 1951. The 36th Fighter Wing was the first European wing of the US Air Force to receive the latest aircraft, the F4 Phantom and F15 Eagle being famous examples.
Under contract with the United States Air Force, the French Army began construction of what would become Bitburg Air Base in Western Germany’s Eifel Mountains in Rhineland- Palatinate in early 1951. Located in the French zone of occupation, the air base was situated on farm land that had been a Wehrmacht tank staging and supply area for the Battle of the Bulge in early 1944.
The air base and its housing area occupied nearly 1,100 acres (445 ha), with a 8,200-foot (2,500 m) long runway (with 1,000-foot (300 m) overruns at each end, total length would be 10,200 ft).
Bitburg Airbase was where Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon, served as a Flight commander in the 22nd TFS; US
President Ronald Reagan also has some connection to the base during the 1950s.
36th Fighter WingIn July 1952 the 53rd Fighter-Bomber Squadron (FBS) f rom the 36th Fighter-Bomber Wing (FBW), from Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base a few miles west of Munich arrived at the newly built base. Throughout the summer, elements of the 36th FBW moved into Bitburg, with the wing officially arriving in November 1952.
Under various designations, the 36th would remain at Bitburg for the next 40 years.
With its arrival the 36th FBW was equipped with the Republic F-84E “Thunderjet”. Operational squadrons were:
- 22d Fighter-Bomber Squadron (Red motif) - 23d Fighter-Bomber Squadron (Blue motif) - 53d Fighter-Bomber Squadron (Green motif)
In August 1953, the North American F-86F “Sabre” was introduced to the wing, replacing the F-84s. In August 1954, the wing was redesignated as the 36th Fighter-Day Wing.
Clockwise from top:

> Republic F-84E-5-RE Thunderjet Serial 49- 2219 of the 23rd Fighter Bomber Squadron, 36th Fighter-Bomber Wing, Bitburg AB Germany
> Bitburg’s North American F-86F “Sabre” which replaced the Thunderjets

WELCOME TO AVIATIONEXPO EUROPE 2012
After transitioning to the Sabre the 36th TFW added two new squadrons, the 32nd Fighter Day Squadron from Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands, and the 461st Fighter Day Squadron from Hahn Air Base. At first the 36th’s F-86 markings consisted of Korean Theater-styled yellow and black- bordered bands, but squadron-specific colored bands were eventually applied to all the 36th FDW Sabres.
First USAF Operational Missile SquadronThe 1st Pilotless Bomber Squadron, equipped with the B-61A Matador, was assigned to the 36th Fighter Bomber Wing, Bitburg Air Base, Germany, on 31 March 1954, making it the first operational U.S. missile unit.
The 36th Fighter Bomber Wing was renamed 36th Fighter Day Wing (no change of station) a year later on 14 March 1955, and the 1st Pilotless Bomber Squadron was renamed to the 1st Tactical Missile Squadron at that time. The B-61A Matador was renumbered to the TM-61A Matador.
The 1st Tactical Missile Squadron was detached from the 36th FDW, no change of station, and assigned to the newly formed 7382nd Pilotless Bomber Group headquartered at Hahn Air Base, on February 1, 1956. The 1st PBS remained at Bitburg Air Base.
The 7382nd Tactical Missile Groupwas inactivated on 15 September 1956, and the 1st Tactical Missile Squadron was reassigned to the newly formed 585th
Tactical Missile Group, Bitburg Air Base, as part of the newly formed 701st Tactical Missile Wing, headquartered at Hahn AB. The 1st PBS became the 1st Tactical Missile Squadron, and was later redesignated as the 71st TMS. The unit converted from the TM- 61A to the TM-61C Matadors during that time.
The Matadors were operational at Bitburg until 1962 when replaced by the newer CGM-13B (TM-76B) Mace missile which were held in underground launch bays at sites near Rittersdorf and Idenheim.
The 71st Tactical Missile Squadron was also the last operational missile squadron in USAFE when it was deactivated April 30, 1969, ending 15 consecutive years of operational tactical missile duty at Bitburg.

EUROPE’S FESTIVAL OF AVIATION
F-100 EraIn 1956, the wing received the North American F-100 “Super Sabre,” marking the first time a wing in USAFE flew supersonic jets. One of the F-100 pilots was future Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who served as a flight commander at Bitburg Air Base, Germany in the 22nd Fighter Squadron. Squadron-specific colored bands were applied to the tail fins of the F-100s, with five tail stripes for the wing commander’s aircraft. On 15 May 1958, the 36th FDW was redesignat- ed as the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), with its squadrons redesignated as Tactical Fighter Squadrons, because its missions had now grown to include delivery of tactical nuclear weapons under NCA and SACEUR direction.
525th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron - F-102 EraIn January 1959 the 86th Air Division at Ramstein Air Base assigned the 525th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron to Bitburg flying the F-102A/TF-102A Delta Dagger. The 525th FIS became the first European-based F-102 squadron when it received its first aircraft (TF-102Bs) on 3 January 1959. The mission of the 525th was to confront
Soviet fighter aircraft over the skies of Western Europe and operated under the USAFE 86th Air Division (Defense) at Ramstein Air Base West Germany on 1 July 1960. This transfer was made in order that all USAF fighter assets in Europe could be concentrated in one command. The F-102As were identified by blue stripes on their tails.
The 525th FIS operated F-102s until December 1969 when it transitioned to a Tactical Fighter Squadron flying F-4Es.
F-105 EraIn November 1959, the 36th was assigned to Seventeenth Air Force. In May 1961, the wing received the Republic F-105 “Thunderchief”. Formal USAFE acceptance of the Mach 2 fighter-bombers was held at the Paris Air Show on 3 June 1961. Deliveries of the F-105D model were completed in 1963, and the 36th carried on its Cold War mission of tactical nuclear weapons delivery.
The first of the wing’s 2-place F-105Fs arrived in March 1964, and all were on base by the end of the year. The F-105Fs performed the same roles and missions as the single-seat D models, except they provided for training new pilots in the
thud’s characteristics. The F-105s in Europe were specifically designed for the nuclear strike role, with the primary armament being a “special store” (a euphemism for a nuclear weapon) housed in the Thud’s bomb bay. This weapon was usually a Mk 28 or a Mk 43 nuclear weapon. However, a Mk 61 store could be carried underneath the left or right inboard underwing pylon and a Mk 57 or a Mk 61 store could be carried underneath the centerline pylon.

WELCOME TO AVIATIONEXPO EUROPE 2012
However, as nuclear conflict became less and less likely in the European theater, the nuclear weapon carried in the bomb bay was usually replaced by a 390-gallon internal fuel tank, the offensive load being carried on four underwing pylons and/or on a pylon mounted underneath the fuselage on the centerline (attached to the bomb bay doors).
F-4 Phantom EraBy 1966 the Thud was being phased out of NATO, being replaced by the McDonnell F-4D “Phantom II”. By December 1966, all the 36th TFW Thuds had been ferried Stateside for combat crew training duties at McConnell AFB, Kansas, or on to warfighting glory in SEA after stateside refurbishment.
During November 1968 the F-102s of the 86th AD were sent to Air National Guard units at CONUS and the 525th FIS was re-equipped with F-4Es and assigned to the 36th TFW. In 1969, the 23rd TFS left the 36th TFW and moved to the new 52nd TFW at neighboring Spangdahlem Air Base. In 1970 the Tail Code concept was established, with the follow- ing squadron insignia: 22d TFS “BR”, 53d TFS “BT” and the 525th “BU”. The 36th would continue to fly the F-4 until 1977, and all Bitburg tail codes were eventually streamlined to read “BT”, and the aircraft’s squadron was then identified by a color band tail flash.
39th Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron– Douglas EB-66C/E “Destroyer”On 4 January 1969 the 39th Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron from Shaw AFB South Carolina was activated at Spangdahlem Air Base and assigned to the 36th TFW. The 39th TEWS flew the Douglas EB-66C/E “Destroyer” aircraft which engaged in various forms of electronic warfare. The B-66s were identified with tail Code “BV”, with a black stripe on tail.
In August 1972 the 52d TFW was activated at Spandahlem. With this activation, the 39th TEWS and the 23d
TFS were transferred to the 52d TFW. In September, the F-4Ds of the mid-1960s were replaced with the F-4E model with upgraded avionics and more importantly, the addition of an M61A1 cannon which give the Phantom an increased air-to-air combat capability. The tail coding of the 36th TFW aircraft were also standardized with “BT”.
The operational squadrons of the 36th TFW in 1973 were: 22d Tactical Fighter Squadron (Stingers: red tail stripe) 53d Tactical Fighter Squadron (Tigers: yellow tail stripe) 525th Tactical Fighter Squadron (Bulldogs: blue tail stripe)
President Ronald Reagan Visits Bitburg ABOn 5 May 1985 President Ronald Reagan visited Bitburg Air Base as part of a visit to Kolmeshohe Cemetery near the town of Bitburg. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl requested his visit to pay respects to the soldiers interred there.
F-15 EagleBy 1976 a major modernization of USAFE was necessary. The Soviet Union’s new MiG and Sukhoi fighters made NATO military planners anxious. Indeed, intelligence reports about the MiG-25 left little room for comfort; the performance of this latest Russian combat aircraft was far superior to any NATO aircraft. The twin-engined MiG-25 reached speeds of over 3,000 km/h even at high altitude (over 70,000 ft) and it could be armed with radar-guided AA-6 Acrid air-to-air missiles. When the Soviets stationed large numbers in the Soviet Union and later in the GDR, NATO had to address this problem.
