131st FW
Does anybody know what the story is on the F-15 squadron that the Missouri ANG has based at STL? Back towards the beginning of 2007, I'd heard that they were supposed to be moving to a different base this year (which was suposed to have happened by now). However, I recently heard that the commander of the base they were supposed to move to didn't want them there and managed to get it tangled up in a bunch of paperwork. Whatever happened, they're still here, and I'm wondering if anybody knows why and/or for how long.

I am not an official source but I remember reading an article in the St. Louis Post that said they had until 2011.
One of the pilots I talked to said they had the option to fly the B-2 out of Whiteman, keeping the pilots in Missouri.
Would be nice if they stayed in St. Louis though.

Thanks for the info, guys!
I live pretty close to the airport, and whenever STL is landing on the 30s the F-15s roll into the break almost right over my house. I've enjoyed watching them ever since I moved here.
