11th TRS

The 11th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (11th TRS) has a distinguished history in U.S. military aviation. Originally activated during World War II, the squadron was tasked with conducting photographic reconnaissance missions over enemy territory, providing critical intelligence for Allied operations. Throughout its service, the 11th TRS operated a variety of aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom II and RF-4C, adapting to evolving reconnaissance technologies during the Cold War and Vietnam War. The unit’s expertise in tactical reconnaissance made it an invaluable asset until its inactivation in the late 20th century.
