In 1972 the 35th FS arrived at Kunsan AB, South Korea as part of the 8th FW. At this time the squadron was equipped with the F-4 Phantom II, the first F-16s arriving in 1981. F-16C 89-2060 was delivered to the USAF in late 1990 serving the 68th TFS. The 89-2060 joined the 35th FS in 2001 and in 2021 it was given a special paint scheme honoring Colonel Robin Olds who led the earlier 8th FW and built the unit to become the well-disciplined and respected unit it is today.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine fighter aircraft built by General Dynamics, that later became Lockheed Martin. Originally designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multi-role aircraft that can perform various kinds of missions. First flown on January 20, 1974, the F-16 entered operational service with the USAF in January of 1979. It has an internal M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon and multiple locations for mounting missiles, bombs and other mission equipment. Although it is no longer being purchased by the USAF, improved versions of the F-16 are still being produced for export customers. Over 4,500 F-16s have been built for the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of twenty-five other nations.
