During the summer of 1961, as the Berlin Crisis unfolded, several USAF reserve units were notified on 16 August of their pending activation and recall to active duty. On 1 October the Massachusetts Air National Guard 102nd Tactical Fighter Wing and its three fighter squadrons, the 101st, 131st, and 138th went on active duty at Otis AFB. The 138th TACFRON was a New York State Air National Guard unit situated in Syracuse New York at Hancock Field. It was added to the 101st and 131st from Otis. I was a member of the 138th and activated then and believe that Syracuse should get mention in this paragraph. I do not know if there is still an NYANG unit in Syracuse but this should be verifiable in a history of this unit.
