9 Fighter & Attack sq	F/A-18C/D
25 Fighter & Attack sq	F/A-18C/D
9sq and 25sq operated A-4KU/TA-4KU from this airfield until the 90s, 12sq operated its Hawks out of this airfield in the past.

One of the most interesting International Air Tattoos is undoubtedly the one in 1993 when Kuwait Air Force F/A-18's came to Europe to say thank you to the coalition troops that participated in the liberation of Kuwait during the First Gulf War.

18sq and 61sq operated Mirage F1CK-2 and F1BK-2 but these are now wfu and some dumped or stored at Ali al Salem.

That the KAF Hawk Mk.64s come in different liveries is proven by this picture. Not in the standard "sand" camo but in a very attractive blue color scheme.
