15th Tac Recon

The 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (15th Tac Recon) was a United States Air Force unit with a distinguished history in aerial reconnaissance. Activated during World War II, the squadron initially flew photographic missions over enemy territory in the European Theater, providing crucial intelligence for Allied operations. During the Cold War, the 15th Tac Recon was re-equipped with jet aircraft such as the RF-101 Voodoo, performing high-speed tactical reconnaissance missions. The unit was inactivated in the late 20th century as part of broader organizational changes and technological advancements in reconnaissance capabilities.
