abstract
  • The 420th Flight Test Flight (420 FLTF) is an inactive United States Air Force Reserve squadron. It was last assigned to the 413th Flight Test Group of Air Force Reserve Command at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Arizona, where it was inactivated on 31 October 2007. The flight was first active during World War II as the 420th Night Fighter Squadron. The squadron served from 1943 to 1944 as an Operational Training Unit for night fighter aircrews. The 420th Air Refueling Squadron was activated under Tactical Air Command in 1954 but moved to England, where it served under United States Air Forces Europe until being inactivated as Strategic Air Command assumed the role of single manager for USAF air refueling. In 1985 the night fighter and refueling squadrons were consolidated into a single unit. The 6520th Test Squadron was organized in 1989 by Air Force Systems Command. In 1992, as the USAF eliminated Major Command controlled (MAJCON) units, the 6520th was consolidated with the 420th and redesignated the 420th Flight Test Squadron. The squadron was inactivated as a regular unit in 1997, but was activated four years later in the reserves as the 420th Flight Test Flight.
