Summary
Beginning on March 1, 1953, two Air National Guard units–the 138th Fighter Interceptor Squadron from Syracuse, New York, pictured here, and the 194th Fighter Bomber Squadron from Hayward, California–each placed two F-51D fighters and five pilots on air defense “runway alert” from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. The runway alert program was the first broad effort to integrate reserve forces into a major Air Force operational mission on a volunteer basis during peacetime.
