VT-29

VT-29 was a U.S. Navy training squadron established in 1952 at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Its primary mission was to provide advanced multi-engine flight training to Navy, Marine Corps, and allied student aviators, primarily using the Convair C-131 Samaritan and T-29 aircraft. Over the course of its service, VT-29 played a vital role in preparing pilots for fleet assignments in patrol, transport, and reconnaissance roles during the Cold War. The squadron was disestablished in 1976 as part of a reorganization of Navy training units.
