This was an amazing video. I had the pleasure of working with folks who went through Edwards TPs. The high standards and rigor they held us to were an inspiration to me personally and have impacted how I approach many aspects of my life.

I got to sit through the NTPS at Pax while I was stationed there. I was enlisted, but a civilian helicopter and fixed wing pilot. I got to sit through as a civilian engineering student auditing the class. Because I did all the medical, ejection seat and high altitude training, I got to back seat a bunch of planes.

This is great stuff! Cant show enough from TPS! Please do a guide throu testing and presentation. Like pitch or roll in an aircraft, then evaluation and report whriting and presantation, would be great!

Do the flight test engineers actually get an opportunity to fly the jets/planes? or only the test pilots

[christianwentzien]

Can Edwards AFB extend an invitation to Civil Air Patrol to participate in this program ?

I am an Officer with the New Jersey Wing and We have Cadets, NCO’s and Officers who can only dream of these incredible opportunities with Flight ✈️ Test Engineering .

Thanks 🙏

The production value of this video has got to be one of the worst i have ever seen for some of the greatest footage that could have been captured - what a joke - its like 2010 cat videos
