Official HT-28 Hellions Leather Squadron Patch — US Navy Helicopter Training Squadron Leather Patch
Every Navy and Marine Corps helicopter pilot passes through the training pipeline — and HT-28 is where they earn their rotary-wing sea legs.
Helicopter Training Squadron 28 (HT-28), the "Hellions," is based at NAS Whiting Field, Florida, under Training Air Wing Five. The squadron trains student naval aviators in the TH-73A Thrasher — the Navy's newest training helicopter replacing the venerable TH-57 Sea Ranger. HT-28 produces combat-ready helicopter pilots for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, making it one of the most critical links in the naval aviation training pipeline.
