Originally established as advanced training unit two-zero-two in April 1951, the squadron was re-designated as Flight Training Squadron-Two One on May 21 1960. The first Navy and Marine Corps students were trained in the F-6F Hellcat. In May 1954, the squadron transitioned to its first jet aircraft, the F-9F Panther with the squadron later operating the F-9F8 cougar, TA-4J Skyhawk and, in Feb 1992, making the final transition to the T-45 Goshawk. This patch does not have velcro attached.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44171319345386,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/files\/vt21sq-3acbehindeagle.jpg?v=1695501295","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vt-21-squadron-patch-3-a-c-behind-eagle","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
