To name a few:

F-104 Starfighter Squadrons-435th, 436th, and 476th Tactical Fighter Squadrons. Starfighters flew over 5,000 combat sorties during the Vietnam War, including "tactical bombing" (one 750lb bomb under each wing). 14 F104s were lost in the war.

F-100 Super Sabre Squadrons-One of the few, if not ONLY US Air Force Reserve/Air National Guard units to fight in Vietnam: 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron Colorado Air National Guard; 136th TFS New York Air National Guard; 174th TFS Iowa Air National Guard; and the 188th TFS New Mexico Air National Guard. These four Air National Guard Super Sabre Squadrons flew over 24,000 combat sorties during the Vietnam War, and fired over 4 million rounds of 20mm cannon during their strafing missions. Over 240 F-100s were lost in the war. The Super Sabre was the longest serving US jet to fight in the war; from 1961 until 1971.
