There is a problem regarding the statement of the Lybian agents who suposedly bombed the Pan Am flight. I think the reference is wrong, mainly because one of the persons was acquited, while the other one was indeed convicted. Since there still is doubt on whether the Lybians were indeed behind this bombing, it might be better just to stick with the facts that one was convicted for the bombin at Soesterberg airbase.

- The 32nd is the only US military unit to ever have been under direct operational control of a foreign nation (operational control fell to the Dutch military). Not true statement.
- Should be written> The 32nd TFS is the only US Military unit ever to bear the crest of a foreign country. The 32nd TFS unit insignia bears a 'Slobbering Wolfhound' surrounded by a wreath of oranges, signifying Dutch Royalty. (William of Orange). The Wolfhound was a caricature designed by Walt Disney studio, that also signified the squadron's history during the 2nd World War for hunting to German U Boats (or Wolfpacks)
As a side note; I disagree with the new text, as the 32nd was under operational control of the Dutch Military (in Nieuw Millingen), which is why they were allowed to carry the crest of the Dutch Royal family. --Antheii (talk) 16:54, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
