VT-27 is one of the United States Navy’s five primary training squadrons. They were initially established on July 11, 1951 as Advanced Training Unit-B at Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi. The command subsequently moved to Kingsville in 1952, then again to New Iberia, Louisiana in 1960 where the squadron was redesignated VT-27. In July 1964, the “Boomers” were returned to Naval Air Station, Corpus Christie, TX.Ê In 1973, the squadron began a transition to the role of a primary training squadron with the arrival of the first T-28 Trojan. This is the subdued version of their squadron patch and does not come with velcro already attached.
