An introductory look at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) located at Edwards AFB. Follow the class of 15-ALPHA during the first few weeks of USAF TPS and get a glimpse of Test Pilot training.
***** Very Cool. I am impressed. I've noticed your comments on my uploads. But until someone actually identifies themselves, or unit, I just usually nod politely and move on. I now shake your hand, and thank you.
Translate "test pilot" into English, it means "expendable"... In Doolittle's book, he recounts and event in Dayton where they hand a parachute and a Curtis Hawk to a guy and say "try to remember how fast you are going when it comes apart."
I have such a deep Air Force heritage through the family I was blessed to be adopted with and to be able to even try at as a path pilot or engineer is such a blessing. Watching this video was exciting and the current thoughts while watching this was "Where are these pilots now?" Cannot wait to start studying myself into such a career is quite exciting. Future Aerospace engineer here! Thank god for this opportunity.
I want to become a military pilot in the Air Force but the Iraqi Air Force only accepts males and I am a girl Can I apply to the U.S. Air Force and how is that? Please answer

You can attend some as a civilian. Not the AF one. But you’d probably have to be the cream of the crop in the AF. To go as a civilian I’m guessing you need a lot of ratings and hours.
Big thank you to the man behind this channel. There's no other around like it. I appreciate your consistency! Keep up the good work.
I will do.
Everyone is expendable. Some folks get paid for it.

I wouldn't mind potentially dying for the future of aviation. That's the thinking that got us into space!

MATT SCHNOOR is my nephew!!!
Ms. Bowie is there any way you can get me in contact with him? I would love to get some answers.
I’m proud of you and your nephew . . I’m sure is a lovely family to be a part of. 🙌
What is the gentleman spraying on the wing of the C-172 at 4:53. Interesting especially since this is AF Test Pilot School?
Excelente vídeo. Grato por postar! Invejo muito esses caras.
Excelent vídeo. I envy these guys! What a career...
Thanks for sharing.
Fly is much more than that!!!

Can I apply to the U.S. Air Force and how is that? Please answer
Go to Jordan, or UAE. They’ve been taking females lately. If you aren’t a citizen of the US, you cannot apply due to security issues.

Is it US only, or is it also open for NATO members?
1:36 If that Japanese flag is any indication, it's not even limited to NATO members.
Foreign pilots / engineers are allowed. Look up AF 99-107 it outlines all the requirements.
I'm interested in the test pilot school but have zero interest in becoming one myself 😂
Where do I sign up ?
Bom dia pra você é fantastico este video obrigado por mandar
Jayme Esteves Junior Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching. Bom dia pra você.

Someone tell me how i can join this school

Minimum is an engineering/mathematics/physics degree and about 1000hrs in a military aircraft.
@@ThomasCallahanJr It cant be both, i think its either 1000hrs for pilots OR an engineering/mathematics/physics degree for engineers.
@@maverick3644 ?? Why can’t it be both??
Looking up AF 99-107 will probably answer most of your questions.
do i see civilians there
yup
@@jalennixon3783 oh wow
want 2 b 1😱😱😱😱😱😯😯😯
Lemme in
Go to test pilot school to fly a c-12 and a Cessna?? 🤔 nah
