Nature of List

I've removed the units that have been redisgnated as another type of squadron (bomb, test, flying training, etc) in an effort to control the length of the various squardon lists. I am open to discussing the nature of the list and include former fighter squadrons, however, I'd like to get a concensus before we do. Ndunruh (talk) 00:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that some you removed are back on the list, so someone must disagree with you. I think it would be a good idea. Double-counting "fighter squadrons" that have had more than one number (e.g. alotted to the ANG), I would estimate there would be in the neighborhood of 600 candidates for inclusion. If the list is limited to those whose last designation was "fighter squadron" (i.e. excluding Fighter-All Weather, Fighter-Bomber, Fighter-Day, Fighter-Escort, Fighter-Interceptor, Strategic Fighter, Tactical Fighter would make the list more manageable, but I think less useful. Perhaps a list of Fighter Squadrons limited to those that returned to this designation since 1991 woould be useful, but I think a new title would be needed.--Lineagegeek (talk) 01:07, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are too many squadrons listed that have been inactive for years if not decades. There are aircraft listed that have been retired for decades (e.g., F-4, F-101, F-102, F-106 and several others)2601:242:C200:F160:294A:BA5D:B780:73A (talk) 19:20, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
