Performed reconnaissance training at Sembach, being upgraded to the new RF-84F Thundersteak in 1955. Trained with NATO forces in Europe during the summer months, however, due to poor weather conditions in central Europe during the winter months, deployed frequently to Wheelus AB, Libya and Nouasseur AB, Morocco for training.

These new squadrons arrived at Laon in May 1959 and the 303d was inactivated in late June.
