The United States Air Force's 112th Air Refueling Group was an Air National Guard aerial refueling unit located at Pittsburgh International Airport, Pennsylvania.

Origins

During this same time frame, the 112th Fighter Interceptor Group flew the F-102A for the Air Defense Command. In 1975 the 112th received its first A-7D aircraft and was reassigned to the Tactical Air Command.

Beginning in 1991, the 112th Tactical Fighter Group became the 112th Air Refueling Group (ARG). The Strategic Air Command was deactivated in June 1992 and the 171st ARW and the 112th ARG became a part of the Air Mobility Command (AMC).

On October 1, 1993, the 112th ARG was deactivated resulting in the loss of 305 military and 65 civilian positions.
