In June 1948 the designation "P" for pursuit was changed to "F" for fighter. Subsequently, all P-51s were redesignated F-51s.

The first F-16s to arrive in May were assigned to the 522d Fighter Squadron. Also transitioning were the 523d and 524th Fighter Squadrons. With the arrival of the F-16s, the F-111s were sent to the <a href="/wiki/Aerospace_Maintenance_and_Regeneration_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center">Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center</a> in Arizona. The 428th Fighter Squadron was inactivated in September 1995, and the ECW EF-111A-equipped 429 ECS was inactivated in May 1998 with the 27th Operations Group officially holding a retirement ceremony in memorial park. The F-111 in various forms had been at Cannon AFB for 29 years. With their retirement, the 430 ECS was inactivated. </p><p>On 15 January 1998, the 524th Fighter Squadron ventured to the desert for their first overseas deployment since transitioning to the F-16. The 522d Fighter Squadron deployed to <a href="/wiki/Prince_Sultan_Air_Base" title="Prince Sultan Air Base">Prince Sultan Air Base</a>, Saudi Arabia in direct support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. They flew missions enforcing UN resolutions of no-fly zone over Southern <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a>. In March, the 523d Fighter Squadron also deployed to Southwest Asia in support of <a href="/wiki/Operation_Southern_Watch" title="Operation Southern Watch">Operation Southern Watch</a>. </p><p>These two 27 FW squadrons were the first F-16 unit to replace <a href="/wiki/A-10_Thunderbolt_II" class="mw-redirect" title="A-10 Thunderbolt II">Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II</a> units performing close air support. In addition, they were the first F-16 unit to maintain the demanding combat search and rescue alert in Southwest Asia. While deployed to the Gulf region in December 1998, the F-16s from the 522d Fighter Squadron provided close air support alert, defensive counter air alert and interdiction in Iraq. </p><p>In August 1998, the 524th Fighter Squadron deployed to <a href="/wiki/Hill_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Hill AFB">Hill AFB</a>, <a href="/wiki/Utah" title="Utah">Utah</a> for exercise Combat Hammer. During the exercise, they dropped inert <a href="/wiki/GBU-24_Paveway_III" title="GBU-24 Paveway III">GBU-24 Paveway III</a> laser-guided bombs and fired live <a href="/wiki/AGM-65_Maverick" title="AGM-65 Maverick">AGM-65 Maverick</a> antitank missiles on Utah test range. The hit rate was one of the highest ever seen in the Air Force, showcasing the lethality of the Block 40 F-16. </p><p>In 1998, the governments of the United States and Singapore signed an agreement laying the foundation of the Peace Carvin III program. As a Foreign Military Sales training program for the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), Peace Carvin III was designed for the continued training of RSAF in rapid deployment and tactical employment of the block 52 F-16C/D throughout a wide spectrum of missions including air-to-air, joint maritime and precision air-to-ground weapons delivery. </p><p>In support of Peace Carvin III, the <b><a href="/wiki/428th_Fighter_Squadron" title="428th Fighter Squadron">428th Fighter Squadron</a></b> was reactivated on 12 November 1998 and tasked to take the lead in Peace Carvin III. The squadron was a hybrid of USAF and RSAF F-16C/D manned by USAF instructor pilots, Singaporean pilots and combined RSAF and USAF teams of maintenance and support personnel. </p><p>In May 1999, the 428th Fighter Squadron participated in its first official major exercise after its reactivation. The squadron deployed to <a href="/wiki/Tyndall_Air_Force_Base" title="Tyndall Air Force Base">Tyndall Air Force Base</a>, Florida, for exercise Combat Archer. The exercise was designed to test weapons capabilities, tactics and employment. This included the first live firing of radar-guided air-to-air <a href="/wiki/AIM-7_Sparrow" title="AIM-7 Sparrow">AIM-7 Sparrow</a> by the RSAF. </p><p>With the completion of Peace Carvin III, the 428 FS was inactivated on 6 July 2005. </p><p>In July 1999, the 522d Fighter Squadron deployed to <a href="/wiki/Naval_Air_Station_Keflavik" title="Naval Air Station Keflavik">Naval Air Station Keflavik</a>, Iceland, to support <a href="/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a> exercise Coronet Norsemen. They served primarily as the combat air arm of the Iceland Defense Force. In August 1999, the 523d Fighter Squadron relieved the 522d Fighter Squadron from Coronet Norsemen. </p><p>During <a href="/wiki/Operation_Allied_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Allied Force">Operation Allied Force</a> in the former Yugoslavia in 1999, the 524th Fighter Squadron was notified for "on-call" duty to augment forces.
