NASA Test Pilot: Day in the Life

[@MikeJamesMedia]

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!

[@tomdavison9107]

Mike James True!

[@busharaca9637]

@mike James so true

[@TheAamirRauf]

For sure!

[@MulaBatiswaHutagaol]

exactly what's in my mind!

[@addienoyes3024]

thank you for helping me find my dream career

[@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783]

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.

[@TTF-95]

To everybody involved... Keep up the incredible work!

[@wedgeantilles7731]

You all will be in the sequel book: Still the Right Stuff Thank you all for your skills, dedication and hard work! Go NASA ❤❤❤

[@AV4Life]

I can’t even describe how much this excites me

[@Astro_molldoll]

Working towards my pilot's license right now while also being a test engineer- this right here is my dream job!! @NASA

[@davidlarson8258]

Good Luck!

[@leisuregaming2954]

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!

[@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783]

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.

[@aerospacefuzz]

Sounds like an amazing job.

[@allenjahromi2010]

Dream job ...

[@chetankamble424]

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

[@JinNani224]

So what’s the ratio of flight hours vs desk hours?

[@sandmandealer4640]

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

[@b7knuckles7]

I am a test engineer working on full flight simulators. Can't wait to work in the actual flight test field someday.

[@MrBen527]

Man, I miss working out there.

[@louissanderson719]

Go check out his interview on the Fighter Pilot Podcast!

[@TheRealCFF]

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.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Some nasty flutter in that elevator after you wiggle it at 2:18

[@The007craig]

If I were to become a test pilot, will I ever have a chance to get to space?

[@rollingaz]

Goals 🧡

[@_k.ina_]

[@far-east411]

[@lesleygorgasm]

[@TheAamirRauf]

[@djtomoy]

I wish I worked for nasa 😕

[@ajaymahata4891]

aaa Jetbiman

[@christosantonopoulos2018]

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

[@phmwu7368]

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 🙁

[@coreymay918]

Gods among men. I'd ask for a ride along video but here comes a black SUV with pentagon men in it...

[@simonnomis5302]

something is missing...

[@fernandoalves67]

,Glaube Mut Liebe.

[@bvinke7160]

AAARGH THOSE F SUBTITTLES...

[@MrSatyre1]

Look, everyone! Toxic masculinity! Where's the all-women test pilot flight? That will have lots of scientific validity because feelings!

[@Rangerman69420]

I can't 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheseRightHereBitch]

Cancelled! 💀
