History

Squadron was formed as part of 103rd Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment equipped with US-made Lockheed RT/IT-33A Shooting Star jet-trainer aircraft equipped for aerial reconnaissance. In 1974 Shooting Stars were replaced with new domestic-made Soko Jastreb light-attack jet aircraft in IJ-21 reconnaissance version. In 1988 several Orao INJ-22 reconnaissance aircraft were introduced.

It was disbanded in 1990 with 701st Air Base.
