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 McDonnell Douglas [T-45 Goshawk|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.
