Inspired from the real world unit, the 93d FS “Makos” is loosely based upon the Air Force Reserve Fighter Squadron.  As with the real world counterpart, the unit operates the Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon. The 93d Fighter Squadron perform a multitude of mission roles including CAP, CAS, SEAD, DEAD, STRIKE, and ESCORT.  The organizational structure is that of three flights of four aircraft. The pilots of the 93d FS use the tactical callsign of “Mako”, mimicking the real world’s counterpart. The Commanding Officer, currently Colonel Wayne “THUD” Lemke, is responsible for the tactical readiness of the group and reports up to the Wing Commanding Officers.
