3514 fm sq (atc)

The 3514th Flying Training Squadron (Air Training Command), often abbreviated as 3514 FM SQ (ATC), was a United States Air Force unit primarily responsible for flight training operations. Activated at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, during the Cold War era, the squadron played a key role in training new pilots and refining advanced flying techniques. As part of Air Training Command, the 3514th contributed to the readiness and professionalism of Air Force aviators, supporting both basic and instructor pilot training programs. The squadron’s legacy is marked by its commitment to excellence in aviation training before its eventual inactivation as the Air Force restructured its training operations.
