PMTC, once the Naval Missile Center, was established in 1946 to provide the Navy with the extensive open-ocean T&E capabilities required to support new Fleet systems. PMTC was an integral part of the T&E programs for most of the Navy's air-launched weapons for over four-and-a-half decades; Point Mugu developed the range instrumentation, telemetry, and threat-simulation capabilities to support the Navy's most sophisticated sea-range complex.
The Squadron Duty Officer (SDO) is the squadron contact point, who communicates with former squadron members about squadron information, sea stories, squadron pictures, scuttlebutt, and gathers information about squadron buddies. Please contact the Squadron SDO as listed on this link. Sharing your stories, photos etc. is essential to the success of the Skyhawk Association and we invite you to JOIN with us in preserving the Skyhawk legacy.
