The Jagdgeschwader 75 was a fighter wing of the Luftwaffe until 1961 . It was set up on October 1, 1960 from the 3rd squadron of the Luftwaffe 10 (WaSLw 10) in Oldenburg . The main task of the squadron, which later emerged from this squadron, was all-weather and night-time hunting, for which the new fighter squadron was equipped with the F-86K Saber Dog , which, in contrast to the Saber from Canadian production also used in fighter squadrons, was equipped with a weather radar. The squadron was initially based in Oldenburg, was relocated to the intermediate location in Leipheim on October 20, 1960 and relocated there with the completion of the Neuburg air base; on May 1, 1961 it was dissolved and on May 5, 1961 it was renamed Jagdgeschwader 74 . The only commodore in the association was Lieutenant Colonel Fritz Wegner , who then took over command of the 74th Fighter Wing.

After the reunification of Germany, the Luftwaffe planned to merge the MiG-29 test squadron and the 35 fighter-bomber squadron and give them the name Jagdgeschwader 75 . In 1993, however, the decision was made to reorganize it as Jagdgeschwader 73 .
