Welcome Students and Educators

Hosted by the 412th Operations Group at Edwards Air Force Base, Air Force Test Center, students will get to experience being a Test Pilot and a Flight Test Engineer. Using a Virtual Reality system, students can execute traditional flight test maneuvers and control room operations. Students will fly a simulator fighter aircraft and practice monitoring aircraft speed, altitude, and maneuverability. Instruction with one-on-one training will be provided by US Air Force military and civilian test pilots and engineers. Additionally, the team will provide and answer questions about opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers within the US Air Force.
