The 894th Helicopter Reconnaissance and Liaison Squadron (Serbo-Croatian: 894. helikopterska eskadrila za izviđanje i vezu / 894. хеликоптерска ескадрила за извиђање и везу) was an aviation squadron of the Yugoslav Air Force formed in 1952 at Borongaj airfield as the Liaison Squadron of 5th Military district (Serbo-Croatian: Eskadrila za vezu 5. vojne oblasti / Ескадрила за везу 5. војне области).
By order from August 18, 1981, the 894th Helicopter Flight (Serbo-Croatian: 894. helikoptersko odeljenje / 894. хеликоптерско одељење) was established at Pleso military airfield with the 5th Army of Yugoslav People's Army for reconnaissance and liaison duties equipped with domestic-made SOKO SA 341 Gazelle helicopters.
In the afternoon of June 27, 1991, the Slovenian Territorial Defence shot down a Gazelle helicopter[3] with an SA-7 missile over [4]Ljubljana, killing the occupants — pilot, Captain 1st class Toni Mrlak (who was Slovenian by nationality)[5] and Senior Sergeant Bojančo Sibinovski.
It moved from Pleso to Željava Air Base near Bihać in 1991 following the order of the High Command of the Yugoslav Air Force, because the units that found themselves located in hostile territory surrounded by Croatian forces had to evacuate to safer territory.
With the wartime reorganisation of the Yugoslav People's Army, shortly after its move, the squadron was disbanded in 1991.
