Beyond the flightline: How TPS’ Enlisted Test Course is enhancing readiness

MSgt Theodore Dinwiddie, director, Enlisted Test Course, launches a sUAS for a test event at Edwards Air Force Base, CA. The USAF Test Pilot School's revamped Enlisted Test Course aims to accelerate the development and deployment of cutting-edge aerospace technology, while reinforcing critical thinking in the field. Held semi-annually and expanded to 16 students over six weeks, the course’s combination of hands-on skills and experience is equivalent to nearly two years of on-the-job training.
