Aircraft Operated by VR-24 |
Designed by North American, later acquired by Rockwell International, the
Sabreliner was developed in the late 1950s to meet an Air Force requirement
for a light utility transport and trainer. In addition to obtaining earlier models as
trainers in 1962 and 1963, the Navy began taking delivery of twelve "G" model Sabreliners
in 1973. VR-24 received three Rockwell CT-39G aircraft in October of that year.
VR-24 continued to operate CT-39Gs throughout the remainder of its operational history.
