A valuable addition to your collection of military memorabilia items.The 22nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, also known as the "Shooting Stars," was a unit of the United States Air Force that served during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1971. The squadron was based at Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand and operated a variety of reconnaissance aircraft, including the RF-101C Voodoo and the RF-4C Phantom II.The primary mission of the 22nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was to provide aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathering in support of U.S. and allied ground forces in Vietnam. The squadron's aircraft were equipped with cameras and other sensors that allowed them to collect imagery and other data on enemy positions, movements, and activities.In addition to its reconnaissance missions, the 22nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron also provided support for other U.S. military operations in the region, including air strikes and interdiction missions against enemy supply lines and infrastructure.During its five-year deployment to Vietnam, the 22nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron flew thousands of missions and amassed a wealth of intelligence that contributed to U.S. military efforts in the region. The squadron's aircraft and crews also faced significant risks and challenges, including ground fire, anti-aircraft weapons, and adverse weather conditions.After the end of the Vietnam War, the 22nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was de-activated and its aircraft and personnel were reassigned to other units. The legacy of the "Shooting Stars" lives on, however, as an important part of the U.S. Air Force's history and tradition of excellence in aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.
