The 90th TFS began in 1917 as the 90th Aero Squadron. Between 1977 and 1991 the 90th TFS flew F-4G Phantom IIs based at Clark AFB, Philippines. On August 19, 1972 F-4G 69-0291 shot down a MiG-21 over North Vietnam. In May 1991 the squadron was reassigned to the 21st TFW at Elmendorf AFB Alaska with F-15E Eagles. In September 1991 the 90th TFS became the 90th FS. F-4G 69-0291 was delivered in 1970 and served with approximately 16 different units until 1990 when it became a gate guard at Osan Air Base, South Korea.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat twin-engine jet fighter originally developed for the U.S. Navy in the 1950s. Proven to be highly adaptable, it also became a major part of the air wings of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force. The Phantom was used extensively by all three of these services in the Vietnam War, serving as the principal fighter / bomber for the Navy and Air Force and in ground-attack and reconnaissance roles. The F-4 Phantom II was also sold to and operated by the armed forces of 11 other nations.

The F-4 Phantom entered service in 1960 and continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, being gradually replaced by more modern aircraft such as the F-15 and F-16 in the U.S Air Force; the F-14 and F/A-18 in the U.S. Navy and the F/A-18 in the U.S Marine Corps. The F-4 was used in the reconnaissance and Wild Weasel roles in the 1991 Gulf War, finally leaving service in 1996. It was produced from 1958 to 1981 with a total of 5,195 built in several variants.
