A T-54A multi-engine aircraft sits on the flight line of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi April 18. The arrival of the T-54A heralds a new generation of Naval Aviators who will use the trainer to earn their wings of gold. The aircraft incorporates the latest avionics and navigational updates, including a state-of-the-art cockpit with technology advances in the flight management system. The T-54A is replacing the T-44C Pegasus, an aircraft that has been in naval service since 1977. (U.S. Navy photo by Anne Owens)
