The Golden Eagles throwback — VT-22's classic design brought back to life, honoring the training squadron that forged generations of naval aviators.
Training Squadron 22 (VT-22), the "Golden Eagles," is a U.S. Navy advanced jet training squadron based at NAS Kingsville, Texas, operating the T-45C Goshawk. This throwback patch features a classic design from VT-22's history, connecting today's instructors and students to the squadron's distinguished legacy of naval aviation training excellence.
VT-22 conducts advanced jet training for student naval aviators in the strike fighter pipeline, teaching the demanding skills required for carrier-based jet aviation. The T-45C Goshawk is the Navy's carrier-capable jet trainer, and VT-22's instructors guide students through formation flying, air combat maneuvering, weapons delivery, instrument flying, and the critically important carrier qualification syllabus. Graduating from VT-22 means earning the Wings of Gold and assignment to a fleet replacement squadron.
