My Sister-in-Law was recently promoted to Commandant of USAF Test Pilot School as a continuation of her outstanding career in the AF. We attended the Change of Command ceremony and toured the TPS facilities full of all sorts of interesting flight test technology. She’ll be in charge of incorporating Space Test into the school as the Space Force stands up in addition to continuing to train Test Professionals for air forces around the world.
The Commandant works at the same desk used by names like Chuck Yeager and Buzz Aldrin. I got to sit there for a few minutes playing with a model X-1 with my kids and taking in the history. Unfortunately, like most places at Edwards AFB, no photography allowed.
