Its accurate organization is unknown, and it's not exactly clear whether the brigade was part of Republika Srpska Air Force, as the aircraft had the same roundels. It consisted of at least one combat squadron, nicknamed "Kobre" (Cobras - the same as the former 249th Squadron) and the 56th Mixed Helicopter Squadron. The brigade was equipped with 12 J-21 Jastreb light ground-attack aircraft, at least two G-2 Galeb trainer jets, 4 Soko Gazelle helicopters and four Gazelle Gama anti-tank helicopters, two Mil Mi-8T transport helicopters, one Antonov An-2 and number of Utva 66, Utva 75, J-20 Kraguj and Zlin Z-526 aircraft. Aircraft from Udbina airport have taken part in wars in both Croatia and Bosnia because the Republika Srpska Air Force aircraft at Banja Luka airport were unable to take off under the no-fly zone over Bosnia and Herzegovina. In several combats Gazelle Gama anti-tank helicopters were very effective destroying Croatian army tanks.August 2012 At the time of the Croatian Operation Storm most of aircraft in flying condition had retreated to Banja Luka. Transport helicopters had performed their last evacuation flights. By the fall of the Republic of Serbian Krajina in summer 1995 and the defeat of the Serbian Army of Krajina, the 105th Aviation Brigade ceased to exist. thumb|G2 Galeb captured by the Croats during operation oluja The commander of the brigade was Ratko Dopuđa.Dimitrijević, Bojan.
