USAF Test Pilot School Class 26A Art
USAF Test Pilot School Class 26A Art.
The United States Air Force Test Pilot School is part of the 412th Test Wing at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Established in 1944 and moved to Edwards Air Force Base in 1951 to take advantage of near year-round clear flying weather, USAF TPS is a highly competitive, advanced flight training school that produces flight test aircrew and engineers qualified to conduct full spectrum test and evaluation of current, emerging, and experimental aircraft, spacecraft, and weapons systems. Class 26A represents the first of two classes in 2026 and is comprised of both a Flight and Space Test Course. The Flight Test Course is comprised of nine pilots, one combat systems officer, two remotely piloted aircraft pilots, and twelve flight test engineers. The Space Test Course is comprised of ten space operations personnel. The class has representation from four branches of service and three nations.

Edwards Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation in California. Most of the base sits in Kern County, but its eastern end is in San Bernardino County and a southern arm is in Los Angeles County. The hub of the base is Edwards, California. Established in the 1930s as Muroc Field, the facility was renamed Muroc Army Airfield and then Muroc Air Force Base before its final renaming in 1950 for World War II USAAF veteran and test pilot Capt. Glen Edwards. Edwards is the home of the Air Force Test Center, Air Force Test Pilot School, and NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center. It is the Air Force Materiel Command center for conducting and supporting research and development of flight, as well as testing and evaluating aerospace systems from concept to combat. It also hosts many test activities conducted by America’s commercial aerospace industry.
Notable occurrences at Edwards include Chuck Yeager’s flight that broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1, test flights of the North American X-15, the first landings of the Space Shuttle, and the 1986 around-the-world flight of the Rutan Voyager.
