With the conclusion of the Belkan War, Osea and its Allies were left with an overabundance of captured fighters from the defeated Belkan Air Force. Following the Sale of Many squadrons of Mig-21 and Flanker series aircraft to Oseas neighbor Ustio, the OADF was left in a peculiar situation, having over forty Mig-29 Fulcrums with no buyer or need for the aircraft. The answer came from North Oseas military Governor, Lieutenant General Nathan Ozawa.
It was under his recommendation that a new Fighter Wing be hosted in North Osea for the future security of the reason, using existing resources available. On December 8th 1997 the 177th Fighter Wing was formally established with two squadrons, the 173rd Fighter Squadron “Falke” flying the 28 MiG-29A fighters, and 96th Fighter Squadron “Adler” flying the dozen more advanced MiG-29G fighters.
