In addition to pilot training, VT-4 has had two other significant missions. North American T-2C Buckeyes of VT-4 Training Squadron at Pensacola NAS Florida in July 1975 Flight training has been given to student pilots from Kuwait, Spain, Singapore and Indonesia. November 1973 saw the introduction of the TA-4J to replace the aging TF-9J for advanced flight training.īeginning in December 1975, VT-4 had the added mission of providing flight instruction for allied foreign military pilots. This mission was unique in the Naval Air Training Command in that student pilots experienced their first flight in a jet aircraft in VT-4 and remained aboard to be subsequently designated Naval Aviators.
In September 1972, Training Squadron FOUR acquired the TF-9J providing flight instruction in both basic and advanced jet training. The squadron mission was changed once again, to provide flight training in all phases of the basic jet syllabus.
In 1971, Training Squadron FOUR transitioned to the T-2C aircraft. In 1965, Training Squadron FOUR transitioned to the T-2B aircraft and its mission was modified to become the Naval Air Training Command's sole site for providing student pilots with basic jet flight instruction in aerial gunnery and carrier qualification. Its original mission was providing flight instruction for US Navy and US Marine Corps Student Naval Aviators in the basic jet training syllabus utilizing the T-2A version of the T-2 Buckeye aircraft.
