The Oregon Air National Guard can not keep jets in the air without the coordinated teamwork of its various units. This line from the intro of the article sounds like an insulting comment. It shouls be removed r reinstated in a better light. --soUmyaSch 06:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, it is true that they cannot keep jets in the air without their people (Ground Crews) on the ground to keep them running 24/7. ViriiK 06:42, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Its true for all airforce/airlines. But the same info can be stated in a better way. Keeping it as the first line appears as if it is demeaning. The intro could be changed to saying OANG operates in ... to provide ... services, and then this line could be added as It consists of various units which work in unison to allow OANG to provide its services. --soUmyaSch 07:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Difference between 123rd / 142nd to 123d 142d

If you have a problem please take it up with the Oregon Air National Guard as they use the 142nd and 123rd as the official label for these units. http://www.orport.ang.af.mil/units.html

[edit] Expansion request

The lead paragraph needs to summarize what the OANG is. Before details of the various divisions, some background would be helpful: its history, significance, deployments etc. --Jgilhousen 04:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
