History

This section is wildly inaccurate and confuses function with organizational history. It begins by stating that the 607th Air Intelligence Squadron was redesignated the 6th Intelligence Squadron on 1 Jan 2009. The squadron was inactivated that day, and replaced by the 6th Intelligence Squadron whose history (as noted in the Wiki article on that squadron) traces back to the 6th Radio Squadron, Mobile and the 140th Signal Radio Intelligence Company. The 607th Air Intelligence Squadron was first activated 1 Oct 1993 as the 7th Air Intelligence Squadron, not the 7th Air Operations Squadron. The unit was never active before this date. It was not a redesignation of the 6th Air Intelligence Squadron (which traces back to the 6th Photographic Group). All information ~~before 1993~~ and after 2009 should be removed bercause it pertains to other units of the USAF Lneagegeek (talk) 21:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Material pertaining to 6th Reconnaissance Group and successor units removed to 6th Air Intelligence Squadron article. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:16, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Location

Just about all of what is in the Location section could (and probably should) be moved out to the Songtan entry. Odd bloke 02:00, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Style

Does the use of the third person plural clash with Wikipedia guidelines?--SilasW 20:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WWII Photo Recon

I am doing a bit of Wikifying of the article on Jerry Frei, the football coach. His son, a sports writer for the Denver Post, says in an 12 November 2000 article that his father served in WWII in photo recon for the 26th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron (26th PRS). An 8th PRS website says that 8th PRS, 25th PRS, 26th PRS, and 20th Combat Mapping Squadron were components of 6th Photographic Group, Reconnaissance, which this article about the 607th claims as its origin. The website also links the 8th PRS to the Fifth Air Force, another link to the 607th. The USAF Museum's Memorial Park has memorials to some of these recon squadrons. The 26th PRS patch image is available at this site. 26th PRS and its recon work at Hollandia is mentioned in "Army Air Forces in World War II: Vol IV", pg 597. I couldn't find these photo recon squadrons mentioned in Wiki and thought someone might want to include them in this article. --Pat (talk) 16:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
