The 87th FIS was at two different locations: Duluth Municipal Airport Minnesota and K.I. Sawyer AFB MI as part of the 23rd Air Division.

The 87th FIS was activated in November 1952 at Sioux City Airport. It replaced the Indiana ANG's 163rd FIS with F-51D aircraft. In the fall of 1953 it transitioned into F-86Ds and in December 1954 the unit transferred to USAFE. The squadron was transferred back to ADC at Lockbourne AFB in April 1956, again with F-86Ds and subsequently F-86Ls a year later in 1957. The squadron transitioned into F-102As in late 1958 and in June 1960 the F-102s were exchanged for F-101Bs.

In July 1968 the 87th was deactivated at Lockbourne, however, in September 1968 the 11th FIS at Duluth AP with F-106As was deactivated and re-designated the 87th FIS. In May 1971 the 87th FIS moved from Duluth AP to K.I. Sawyer AFB, MI replacing the F-101 equipped 62d Fighter Interceptor Squadron which was deactivated in Apr 1971.

The 87th FIS was deactivated on 1 Oct 1985.
