I served during this time at RAF Lakenheath, United States Air Force. In November 1990, the squadron deployed to King Fahd Royal Air Base, Taif Saudi Arabia, in support of Operation Desert shield. On 17 January 1991, the 492d was once again called into combat at the onset of Operation Desert Storm. During the campaign, the squadron flew over 800 missions, delivering more than 2.5 million pounds of ordnance. In December 1991, the 492d FS deployed to Incirlik Air Base Turkey in support of Operation Provide Comfort. The squadron flew over 560 missions supporting United Nations inspection teams and the Kurdish relief effort. In March 1992, the squadron returned to RAF Lakenheath and became USAFE's first unit to transition to the F-15E Strike Eagle. The squadron was declared mission ready on 1 July 1993. In August 1993, the 492d FS again deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey in support of Operation Provide Comfort flying over 460 missions in support of the Kurdish relief effort. In February 1994, the 492d deployed to Aviano Air Base, Italy in support of Operation Deny Flight.
