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 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.
