This needs to be written in a much more natural encyclopedic/historical fashion. Something akin to "The 524th Fighter Squadron is a United States Air Force squadron which was first established during World War II and remains active today. It is distinguished from other fighter squadrons by..." LordAmeth 13:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
