Training Air Wing Five (TW-5 or TRAWING 5) is a United States Navy aircraft training air wing based at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, in Milton, FL. TW-5 is one of five training wings in the Naval Air Training Command, and consists of three fixed-wing primary training squadrons and three rotary-wing advanced training squadrons. The wing trains Student Naval Aviators from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard, as well as international allies with instructors of varying backgrounds and seniority from the aforementioned military branches.

According to the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), TW-5 accounts for roughly 43% of all flight time within the Naval Air Training Command, and 11% of the Navy and Marine Corps' flight time worldwide. Approximately 1,200 students complete flight training with TW-5 annually.{{cite web|title=Mission|url=https://www.cnatra.navy.mil/tw5/mission.asp|website=Training Air Wing Five|publisher=U.S. Navy|accessdate=17 May 2017}}
