Luke Air Force Base was the fourth USAF base to receive the Ling-Temco-Vought A-7D Corsair II. It was the second Tactical Air Command base to receive the aircraft. In 1969, the 310th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron, 58th Tactical Fighter Training Wing began Fighter Lead-In training for USAF pilots to transition to the A-7D Corsair II.

This training was conducted until July 1971, when the training was transferred to Davis-Montanan AFB, Arizona with the establishment of the 333d Tactical Fighter Training Squadron/355th TFW. Subsequently all A-7D aircraft, personnel and support equipment was reassigned.
