Official VT-3 Red Knights Small Sticker - Training Squadron Three (VT-3), the Red Knights of Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Florida, rendered as a compact vinyl sticker.
Red Knight callsign, T-6B Texan II flight line, and a training legacy that has shaped Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and allied aviators since 1960.
VT-3 was commissioned on May 1, 1960, at South Whiting Field, Florida, with a founding mission of preparing student naval aviators in radio instruments, formation flying, and air-to-air gunnery. The squadron moved to North Whiting Field in 1973 and has remained there ever since, building one of the most decorated training records in Naval Air Training Command history. In 1980, VT-3 became the only primary fixed-wing training squadron to be alternately commanded by a Navy and Marine Corps officer, a distinction that reflected its joint character long before joint training became policy. That character was formalized in 1994 when the Red Knights became the Navy's first and only Joint Service Primary Flight Training Squadron, welcoming Air Force students and instructor pilots alongside their naval counterparts. VT-3 was also the first Navy squadron selected to transition to the T-6B Texan II, the aircraft that defines the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System syllabus flown at Whiting Field today. The squadron's Red Knight insignia draws its identity from the legendary Red Baron, with two aircraft in formation representing the discipline and vigilance that VT-3 instills in every student who earns their wings through the program.
Perfect For: VT-3 Red Knights alumni, student naval aviators, T-6B Texan II crews, NAS Whiting Field veterans, Navy and Marine Corps flight training graduates, Coast Guard and Air Force exchange pilots, Training Air Wing Five supporters, aviation collectors, flight-bag customization, helmet bag decoration, shadow box displays, and anyone who wants a small but specific piece of Navy primary flight training heritage to carry, display, or gift.
Red Knights heritage, sized for the flight bag, the locker, and the collection that honors the people who trained the best.
