The was first created just before WW2 but gained it’s special status in 1955 when it was activated at Soesterberg AB in the Netherlands in an agreement between the US government and Holland’s government to station a USAF fighter squadron to aid Holland’s air defense. In 1959, as part of its integration into the host nation’s air defense, the Wolfhounds received a “Royal” designation, associated squadron emblem changes, and the royal orange tail stripe with crown logo. They remain the only USAF squadron so honored.
In 1979, the Wolfhounds became the first F-15 squadron stationed outside of the CONUS and continued to operate the Eagle until they ceased flying operations in 1994.
One of the F-15A’s, with the appropriate tail number 77-0132 was famously bestowed with the “slobbering hound” nose art and a large “Wolfhounds” graphics on the port side of the nose. She is depicted ready for a Basic Fighter Maneuvers (BFM) sortie over the North Sea, cleaned off and carrying a single CATM-9L and expendables.
