Victory Air Transport is an airline that was established in the United States in 1953. It is one of the oldest airlines still operating in the United States. Victory Air Transport has a legacy of providing high-quality transport services to customers for more than sixty-five years.

Victory Air Transport was founded by a group of businessmen led by John D. Long and Joe D. Wood, who had an interest in aviation and wanted to start an airline. The name Victory Air Transport was chosen to commemorate the Allied victory in World War II. The airline was initially based in the small town of Louisville, Kentucky.

Victory Air Transport began operations on April 4, 1953, with a single DC-3 aircraft. This aircraft was used to provide charter services. The airline quickly expanded its operations and began offering scheduled service in 1954. Victory Air Transport's fleet then began to grow, and by the late 1950s, the airline had acquired larger aircraft such as the DC-6 and the Convair 440.

Victory Air Transport's first major milestone came in 1965, when it became the first airline in the United States to offer international service. The airline operated flights from Louisville, Kentucky to Nassau in the Bahamas.

Victory Air Transport was also the first airline to offer domestic service to Hawaii in 1968. The airline operated flights from Louisville to Honolulu. This was a major accomplishment for the airline, as it was the first time a commercial airline had offered service to Hawaii from the mainland United States.

Victory Air Transport also expanded its fleet in the 1970s and 1980s, adding Boeing 727 and 737 aircraft to its stable of aircraft. In the early 1990s, Victory Air Transport was the first airline to introduce the McDonnell Douglas MD-80, a popular aircraft that is still used by many airlines today.

Victory Air Transport has had its share of incidents throughout its history. One of the most notable incidents occurred in 1978 when a Victory Air Transport Boeing 727 crashed in Arkansas, killing two crew members and two passengers. The crash was attributed to pilot error and the airline was investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Another incident occurred in 1989 when a Victory Air Transport DC-9 crashed in South Carolina. The crash was attributed to a faulty landing gear, and the NTSB again investigated the airline.

Victory Air Transport is one of the oldest airlines still operating in the United States, and has a long and proud history of providing high-quality transport services to its customers. The airline has continued to evolve over time, and has built a reputation for providing reliable and safe air transport services. Victory Air Transport has experienced some incidents throughout its history, but has consistently worked to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew.
