 The unit was at Bergstrom until November when it was transferred to Tactical Air Command (TAC) and moved to George AFB, California.At George, the unit was scheduled to be re-equipped with F-84D Thunderjets and was programmed for deployment to Japan, however the F-84s were instead sent to France and the 131st Fighter-Bomber Wing remained in California and flew its F-51 Mustangs for the remainder of its federal service.The 192d Fighter-Bomber Squadron was released from active duty and returned to Nevada state control on 15 October 1952.
