The 963d Airborne Air Control Squadron is a squadron of the United States Air Force based at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The squadron is a subordinate unit of the 552d Operations Group and it flies the Grumman E-2D Hawkeye radar surveillance aircraft. The squadron currently falls under the authority of Air Combat Command and Twelfth Air Force.
The squadron was activated in 1955 flying the EC-121 Warning Star until 1976 when it would adopt the newer Boeing E-3 Sentry. In 2025 with the announcement of the USAF’s procurement of the Grumman E-2D Hawkeye in lieu of the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail, the Squadron already in process of airframe transition would receive their first Hawkeye in 2026.
Today the Blue Knights continue their global mission supporting the United States and her allies at home and abroad.
