On January 20, 1968 the 474th TFW, 474th FMS, and the
428th TFS moved without personnel or equipment to Nellis
AFB, Nev, and the 474th AEMS and 474th MMS inactivated.
The units that moved to Nellis absorbed the resources of
an inactivating wing. Gaining the 474th CSG, 474th
Tactical Hospital, and 474th Supply Squadron, the 474th
Wing became host unit for Nellis. There it acquired the
F-Ill equipped 4527th CCTS. On January 20, 1968 the
428th TFS organized Detachment 1, which also received F
-111 aircraft. This detachment deployed c. March 18 to
November 22, 1968 to Southeast Asia. On May 15, 1968 the
429th TFS discontinued attachment to another wing and
rejoined the 474th Wing without personnel or equipment.
A former component, the 430th TFS, became part of the
wing on September 15, 1968. Tactical components of the
wing received their initial F-ills between November 1968
and March 1969 and began training for proficiency in the
new weapon system. The 4527th CCTS trained F-111
aircrews for the wing and for other USAF units until
replaced in October 1969 by the 442d TFTS, which assumed
the mission. The 4474th TTS, assigned December 1 to June
15, 1970, was sparsely manned and never equipped with F
-llls. Upon inactivation of the 474th CSG, 474th
Tactical Hospital, and 474th Supply Squadron in February
1970, the 474th Wing became a tenant at Nellis AFB. Wing
assumed an operationally ready status between January 31
and September 8, 1971, and from September 1971 initiated
tactical exercises for the maintenance of tactical
operational proficiency.
Over 1,600 tactical and support personnel of the wing
deployed on September 27, 1972 to Takhli RTAFB,
Thailand, to participate in combat operations in
Southeast Asia. A rear echelon of wing headquarters
remained at Nellis to control units not deployed. All F
-111As of the 474th carried the tail code NA. From
Takhli, the 474th participated in Operation Linebacker
II when the United States resumed the large scale
bombing of North Vietnam.
In early 1973, With the suspension of bombing in North
Vietnam and the resumption of peace negotiations,
inflight refueling requirements decreased markedly. As a
result, in late January 1973 many of the augmentee
tankers of the 11th Air Refueling Squadron, which has
been rotating aircraft and aircrews from Altus AFB,
returned to Oklahoma.
The 430th TFS returned to the 474th TFW Nellis on March
22, 1973 assuming a replacement training unit mission,
while the 428th and 429th were assigned to the newly
transferred 347th Tactical Fighter Wing from Mountain
Home Air Force Base Idaho on July 30, 1973. On August 6
the last F-111 aircraft and crews were transferred to
Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, and the 474th Wing absorbed
the F-4D aircraft, crews, and resources of the
inactivating Tactical Fighter Wing Provisional, 4474th.
With the end of hostilities in Southeast Asia, the
474th's mission was to train combat-ready force of
aircrews and maintained a rapid-reaction capability to
execute fighter attacks against enemy forces and
facilities in time of crisis. The wing conducted this
mission until September 1989, when the wing was
inactivated to relieve congestion at Nellis. The F-16s
assigned to the wing were transferred to ANG and AFRES
squadrons.

This is a "What if" skin for Florian's Hawk 209 (Which can be found on Capun's site in the 3rd party mods section) if they had been adopted by the RAF as a back up fighter to support Tornados,Typhoons and Harriers as the Hawks lower operating costs would make them suitable for lower level conflicts.
