HELTRARON TWENTY EIGHT (HT-28)

HELLIONS

Training Air Wing Five

 

HT28HELTRARONTWENTYEIGHTHELLIONS001.JPG.8ceccdd2d9ec7450b9396856194f5470.JPG

 

HT-28's primary mission is to transition student aviators through basic and advanced rotary wing pilot training. Basic training introduces and develops student skills in helicopter flight maneuvers as well as training in visual navigation and tactics. Advanced training completes an intensive curriculum of basic and radio instruments, advanced tactics, and shipboard landings. The completion of this exacting training syllabus culminates in a highly trained and proficient all-weather aviator.

 

HT-28, along with its sister squadrons, HT-8 and HT-18, provides advanced helicopter flight instruction to all Navy, US Marine Corps, and US Coast Guard helicopter flight students as well as international students from several allied nations. Students who successfully complete the program earn the right to wear the coveted "Wings of Gold."

It would be nice to pin this one down (and the other VFT squadrons).  The BTG's were redesignated as VT's in May 1960 and they were VFT's before they were BTG's so I'd say it's the 1956 to 1959 time frame or a little earlier.

TRARON THIRTY ONE (VT-31)

WISE OWLS

VT31WiseOwls001AceNovelty.JPG.ad712804d6bb326e3213a46457430397.JPG

Wise Owls Multi-Engine Aircraft Training Squadron, Ace Novelty 1960's

 

Established: February 1958

Training Squadron THIRTY-ONE began training Student Naval Aviators in February 1958 as Advanced Training Unit 601. The unit, assigned to NAS Corpus Christi, flew the Beechcraft SNB multi-engine aircraft as an instrument and navigation trainer. Commissioned as VT-31 on 1 May 1960, the squadron"s scope of training expanded with a new aircraft, the P2V 'Neptune,” replacing the aging SNBs. In January 1961, VT-31 continued its expansion with the acceptance of the first P5M 'Marlin' for the advanced training syllabus.

 

VT31WiseOwls002AceNovelty.JPG.3f3b5a74c035c7dee65318a3a26ba214.JPG

 

In 1963, VT-31 transitioned to the TS-2A 'Tracker.' For the next 15 years, the command used the TS-2A in all facets of advanced multi-engine training including carrier qualifications. VT-31's transition to the Beechcraft T-44A began in the spring of 1977, and on 8 February 1979, the last TS-2A departed the command. The T-44A is the military version of the popular Beechcraft King Air 90 and is equipped with a full range of avionics equipment for instrument conditions including a weather radar and RNAV. Students, as well as instructors, appreciate the fully pressurized and air conditioned cabin that provides an ideal learning environment. In addition to the aircraft, the students also receive instruction in fully computerized synthetic trainers. These devices are able to simulate virtually any instrument flying condition and allow students to fly numerous instrument approaches.
