    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
