History

Initially based at Naval Air Station Chase Field in Beeville, Texas, VT-24 was tasked with providing advanced jet training for naval aviators, primarily flying aircraft such as the McDonnell Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk and later the T-45 Goshawk. Over its operational years, the squadron played a crucial role in preparing student pilots for carrier operations and fleet assignments. VT-24 was disestablished in 1996 as part of a restructuring of naval flight training operations. [1]
