List of active United States Air Force aircraft squadrons

This is an organized list of all of the active aircraft squadrons that currently exist in the United States Air Force, sorted by type. Most squadrons have changed names and designations many times over the years, so they are listed by their current designation. Squadrons are only listed if flying aircraft is their primary mission. Aircraft are separated based on MDS. Provisional "Expeditionary" Squadrons are listed. The squadron's group assignment is listed if the group is not labelled an Operations Group, or if the parent wing does not share their group's same number. Detachments are listed under their own menu when assigned to a Group-level unit or higher.To see all USAF squadrons, regardless of active or not, as well as non-flying squadrons, go to the List of United States Air Force squadrons
