Today, the group flies A/AO-10 Thunderbolts from the modern runways at Willow Grove Air Reserve Station, Pa., as well as employs 700 traditional guardsmen and 300 full-time personnel.

Tasked to provide operationally-ready combat units, combat support units and qualified personnel, the 111th Fighter Wing supports Air Force war contingency requirements and performs a variety of peacetime missions required by the Air Force and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
