Training Squadron FOUR (VT-4), based at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Florida, was established in 1960 as part of the U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Training Command. Originally, VT-4 provided advanced multi-engine flight training for student naval aviators, using aircraft such as the T-39 Sabreliner and T-44 Pegasus. Over the years, the squadron’s mission evolved, and VT-4 played a crucial role in training both U.S. and international naval flight officers (NFOs) in navigation, electronic warfare, and tactical operations. Today, VT-4 continues its legacy at NAS Pensacola, preparing future maritime aviators for fleet service.
