Such a legendary place out there in the high desert. I also read the right stuff when I was young and definitely started my obsession with aviation and particularly test flying. The days when Yeager and crossfield were both chasing new speed records are so epic.
I got meet Nils Larson at the 2014 LA County Air Show. He is a really cool guy to talk too. Even though I missed Space Shuttle Endeavour flying around LA, it made up for it meeting one the pilots who flew the escorting F-18s.
That static x1-E was the one Joe walker piloted I believe. I’m pretty sure it was called Little Joe and I remember it having dice on the side of the canopy haha.
Is there a way I can reach out I have some questions. I am currently a freshman at a maritime academy as a navy option in the aviation community. I wanna fly jets and would like to know what path to take to get this job. Thanks!
I would love to be a test pilot, but the only conceivable way to achieve such a role would be to do it through the military. Back when I was eligible to be a military pilot, the eyesight requirements and other standards were too stringent for me. I would, however, love the opportunity to get involved with the test pilot work today. I just don’t know how that can be possible.
Test pilot hey, a day in the life. Well I've lived a life of 48yrs and tested living a human life and it's a major failure and I've flown planes at the moment I'm looking for the eject switch in my body
The only thing wrong with these videos is that they're too short. I could watch test flight video all day. Thanks for posting what you can!
Mike James True!
@mike James so true
For sure!
exactly what's in my mind!
thank you for helping me find my dream career

To everybody involved... Keep up the incredible work!
I can’t even describe how much this excites me

Sounds like an amazing job.
What's crazy, is that it's getting easier to get into this field. Almost anyone with a background in engineering has a real shot at going to space
Dream job ...
Working towards my pilot's license right now while also being a test engineer- this right here is my dream job!! @NASA
Good Luck!
I am a test engineer working on full flight simulators. Can't wait to work in the actual flight test field someday.
You all will be in the sequel book: Still the Right Stuff
Thank you all for your skills, dedication and hard work! Go NASA ❤❤❤

NASA Engineers ...Gods of Aircraft engineering.....giving birth to tomorrows aircraft technology.....awesome job....

So what’s the ratio of flight hours vs desk hours?
Man, I miss working out there.
Go check out his interview on the Fighter Pilot Podcast!
Some nasty flutter in that elevator after you wiggle it at 2:18
If I were to become a test pilot, will I ever have a chance to get to space?
dude wearing a leather flight jacket with a nasa patch and a set of wings - wonder how many folks think he bought it off ebay
Coolest job in the world.

Wow...
Worst thing about becoming an old pilot... at 20 years flightsuit size 40R, by the age of 60 years flightsuit size 44R 🧐 and not mentioning glasses 🙁
Gods among men. I'd ask for a ride along video but here comes a black SUV with pentagon men in it...
something is missing...
,Glaube Mut Liebe.
AAARGH THOSE F SUBTITTLES...
Look, everyone! Toxic masculinity! Where's the all-women test pilot flight? That will have lots of scientific validity because feelings!
I can't 😂😂😂😂😂
Cancelled! 💀
