Description
The current Red Knights of Training Squadron THREE (VT-3) picked up the torch lit by their predecessors on May 1, 1960 and continued the legacy of "Training the Best for America's Defense". By the end of 1968, VT-3 had flown almost 110,000 instructional hours and trained 902 students in the basic prop-training course for that calendar year. VT-3 remained at South Whiting Field for thirteen years until 1973, when the squadron joined VT-2 at North Whiting Field to make room for newly formed helicopter training squadrons at South Field. VT-3 was selected as the first Navy squadron to transition to and fly the new joint primary training aircraft: the T-6 Texan II. The Red Knights continue to provide the highest quality training to student aviators from the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and several allied nations.
