2/8/2012 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- Sixty-plus Airmen are primary or alternate Air Force and Navy test pilot school selectees, while one has been selected to attend the Epner Test Pilot School in France, and another will attend the Empire Test Pilot School in England, Air Force Personnel Center officials announced.
Selectees, identified during the August 2011 school selection board, will fill July 2012 and January 2013 classes. The board named pilots to fill requirements for fighter, multi-engine, helicopter and remotely piloted aircraft; combat and weapon systems officer requirements, and flight test engineer requirements, said Howard Peterson, AFPC pipeline and trainer assignments branch.
"The Air Force school is the world's preeminent fixed-wing test pilot school, providing the finest flight test professionals to develop and evaluate current and future weapon systems," Peterson said. "Graduates have profound strategic impact on the development of future combat capabilities, which will ensure mission dominance in the battlefield for years to come."
Program graduates are future senior leaders who will be in high demand, Peterson said, adding that program graduates will earn a Master of Science in Flight Test Engineering through Air University.
