Known as the "Boneheads," the squadron's history began in 1942. The squadron first saw service flying the original twin-tailed fighter, the P-38 Lightning. The 95th Fighter Squadron finished the war with more than 400 kills, including 199 aerial victories.
During the post-war period, the 95th flew many aircraft in several different commands.
The present squadron was activated at Tyndall on August 15, 1974, as the 95th Interceptor Training Squadron, redesignated the 95th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron on April 1, 1974, and finally the 95th Fighter Squadron on November 1, 1991.
