Bravo Drivers — VT-28 Rangers, the training squadron that puts student naval aviators behind the stick of the T-6B Texan II for their first taste of military flying.

Training Squadron 28 (VT-28), the "Rangers," is a U.S. Navy primary flight training squadron operating the T-6B Texan II. The "Bravo Drivers" designation refers to the T-6B variant — the "B" model Texan II that features an advanced digital cockpit and serves as the primary trainer for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard student aviators. VT-28's instructor pilots teach the fundamentals of military aviation that every naval aviator must master.

The T-6B Texan II is a single-engine turboprop trainer that provides students with their introduction to military flying, including basic aerobatics, formation flying, instrument navigation, and crew resource management. For many students, VT-28 is where they make their first solo flight and take the first real steps toward earning their Wings of Gold. The "Bravo Drivers" patch captures the pride that comes with mastering the T-6B.

VT-28's instructors are experienced naval aviators who return to the training command to pass on their knowledge and skills to the next generation. The quality of primary flight training directly determines the quality of the fleet's future aviators.
