USA / Indiana / Fort Wayne / Fort Wayne, Indiana
 Air National Guard Base, National Guard (USA)
Home to the Indiana Air National Guard 122d Fighter Wing Since 1952, currently flies A-10 Thunderbolts

The 122d Fighter Wing was one of the last ANG units to operate the F-16 C/D. Initially established in 1941 as a training airfield for the Army Air Forces, during World War II, "Baer Field" became a major training and aircraft processing base for C-47 Skytrain and C-46 Commando transport aircraft, equipping many Troop Carrier squadrons with aircraft and training their aircrews in their operation. Largely turned over to civil control after the war, the Air Force has maintained control over a small section of the civil airport for reserve training and Air National Guard use
