Talk:16th Airborne Command and Control Squadron/@comment-2600:6C60:5200:F7:0:A03A:CF21:BCC4-20181030201713

A piece of the 16 TRS history is missing. The 16 TRS flying operational RF-4Cs was located at Misawa AB, Japan from March 1970 to March 1971 as part of the 475 TFW. It returned to Shaw AFB, SC in March 1971 as a RF-4C training squadron in name only. The squadron commander, operations officer, and a few others stayed with the squadron when it returned to Shaw. The aircraft and most of the crews did not (many were not instructor qualified--too new to the aircraft). The aircraft (RF-4Cs) were sent to three other locations. Three went to Tan Son Nhut AB, RVN, two or three went to Kadena AB, Japan, and the rest went to the Alabama ANG at Birmingham, AL being the first F-4s of any type in the ANG. There is also information available that shows the 16 TRS was located at Tan Son Nhut before moving to Misawa.
