Training Air Wing ONE (TW-1 or TRAWING 1) is a United States Navy aircraft training air wing based aboard Naval Air Station Meridian, located 11 miles northeast of Meridian, Mississippi in Lauderdale County and Kemper County. TW-1 is one of five training air wings in the Naval Air Training Command, and consists of two jet training squadrons. The wing trains Student Naval Aviators from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and international allies. Following completion of primary flight training and selection of an advanced training pipeline, Student Naval Aviators are assigned to TW-1 for either intermediate and advanced strike pipeline training or advanced E-2/C-2 training in the T-45C Goshawk jet training aircraft.

TW-1 produces approximately 50% of the U.S. Navy’s tailhook pilots, with the other 50% produced at Training Air Wing Two stationed at NAS Kingsville in Kingsville, Texas. Following the completion of training with TW-1, Student Naval Aviators are designated Naval Aviators and presented with their “Wings of Gold.”
