Assigned to the air defense role, the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group previously parented F-101B/F Voodoo equipped 111st Fighter Interceptor Squadron from Ellington ANGS, Houston, calls itself the " National Air Force of Texas". Component squadron re-equipped with F-4C in 1982 and F-4D in 1987 when the 31s TFW converted to the F-16 Falcon. The F-4Ds, with which the 111st FIS also kept an alert detachment at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, were short lived in Houston as the squadron began its conversion to F-16A/B Falcon in 1989.
