In 2010 the 390th “Wild Boars” once again became the “390th Electronic Combat Squadron”, as they were from 1982 to 1992 when the EF-111 Raven was flown out of Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, under the 390th ECS designation. Nothing has changed for the 388th ECS, which flies Navy E/A-6B Prowlers and E/F-18G Growlers out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash., except for the designation which is now the 390th ECSIn 1992, the Air Force re-designated the 390th ECS (Seen HERE) as the 390th FS, which began flying what was then the Air Force’s premier air superiority aircraft, the F-15C Eagle. “The legacy of the Wild Boars is going to live on as the 390th Electronic Combat Squadron.”
