The first Training Squadron NINE was established on December 15, 1961 at McCain Field, U.S. Naval Air Station, Meridian, Mississippi flying the T2J-1 Buckeye and calling themselves the “Tigers” when they were split out of Training Squadron SEVEN. In September 1962 the squadron’s aircraft were redesignated to T-2A by the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system. In 1969 the squadron was the first to upgrade to the T-2C Buckeye. On August 2, 1971, the second and current Training Squadron NINE was established as Training Squadron NINETEEN (VT-19) “Frogs” when it was split out of the first Training Squadron NINE forming two “sister” squadrons, the original Training Squadron NINE and the new Training Squadron NINETEEN.

The first Training Squadron NINE was disestablished in July 1987 and its aircraft and personnel were consolidated into VT-19.

The students, selected from the very top performing students graduated from primary flight training in the T-6B, are trained in the T-45C over a 12 month long syllabus consisting of systems, weapons, aerodynamics, emergency procedures, and other academic course-work; dynamic simulator training; navigation and instrument flying, and progress through extensive formation and tactical flying, low-level navigation, bombing, and air combat maneuvering (“dog fighting”).
