The 95th FIS was transferred from SAC to ADC at Grenier AFB in August 1949 with F-51Ds. It was, however, deactivated two months later in October. In November 1952 the 95th FIS was reactivated at Andrews AFB with F-94Bs, replacing the 121st FIS of the District of Columbia ANG. In 1953 it transitioned into F-86Ds and subsequently into F-86Ls in April 1957. In February 1958 the squadron received F-102As. On 17 July 1959 the 95th transitioned into F-106A's while still at Andrews AFB, MD and then on 1 July 1963 moved from Andrews AFB to Dover AFB. On 31 January 1973 the squadron was deactivated; however, the unit designation was reactivated at Tyndall AFB in September 1974 when the T-33 Flying Training Squadron was re-designated the 95th FITS.

F-106s were assigned to 95th FIS at Andrews AFB MD from 17 July 1959 to 01 July 1963. The 95th FIS then moved to Dover AFB DE on 01 July 1963 and served there until inactivation on 31 Jan 1973.
