- Review follows:
Article was new enough at time of nomination, and is long enough. It is neutral, sufficiently cited, and does not have any issues with copyright violations. The image is freely licensed (public domain), is used in the article, works well at 100px, and has an appropriate caption. QPQ has been done, and both hooks are cited. My only concern is that they may not be particularly interesting to a general audience. I suggest mentioning that the squadron served for 20 years, which is something I found interesting when reading the article. That could be incorporated into ALT0. It's not the end of the world if the existing hooks are used, however, so I'm going to approve this. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
