Talk:427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron

Article Title

Originally this article was created under the name "427 Tactical Helicopter Squadron". I moved it to "No. 427 Squadron RCAF" to conform to the standard used in all the other CF/RCAF squadron articles, stating in the edit summary "(moved 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron to No. 427 Squadron RCAF: This page was moved to conform to the standard nomenclature used for all RCAF and CF Squadrons. A great many red links point to this new page in anticipation of its creation.)".

Please see list at List_of_Royal_Canadian_Air_Force_squadrons.

I think this probably needs to be discussed in more detail as there are many other CF/RCAF squadrons on the list above that are all using the RCAF nomenclature. Should all of those be changed or should this one be changed back to No. 427 Squadron RCAF? - Ahunt (talk) 15:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Ahhh, I didn't know the No. and RCAF were being used as nomenclature. I would have to side with updating all CF squadron pages for their current official names. I guess we'll keep it as is for now, but I'll start some discussion on the discussion page for List_of_Royal_Canadian_Air_Force_squadrons so we can get some consensus. Thanks for bringing this up!

No problem - personally I don't mind if they all have the RCAF style titles or CF style, but they should all be the same. - Ahunt (talk) 11:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know... its not the RCAF any more... its Canadian Forces Air Command, or the Canadian Air Force 142.163.136.200 (talk) 01:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC) Doltz

Squadron not part of RCAF

Regarding this revert: I don't see where the mentioned source says the squadron is an RCAF unit. Canada's military is not organized into separate services like the British or US. There is just one service, the CAF. The RCAF is not a military service; it is a command within the CAF. 427 Sqn is not under RCAF command; it is under a separate top-level command within the CAF, CANSOFCOM.

Since there has been no further discussion, I'll go ahead and change the article. Indefatigable (talk) 22:23, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
