Top 8 USAF Test Pilots in Aviation History
Test Pilots – Fearless Men!
We have come a long way since the beginning of flight so who are the Top 8 USAF Test Pilots in Aviation History. We have had inventions that would simply baffle the mind to contraptions that made no sense at all yet it has been the inventors, scientists and engineers that kept getting back on the horse and finding new and interesting ways to improve flying machines since their inception.
These Infernal Flying Machines!
Strapped to a hurtling metal piece of machinery going Mach 2 with your hair on fire? How about doing this while controlling an aircraft that has never been flown by a human before? Uncertainty at every corner with engineering and auronautics never before tested until the pedal hits the metal and then get thrown around like a carton of eggs in blender powered by a tornado! Know this is like? The men known as test pilots do and several of the top pilots ever to strap themselves into a untested combat designed aircraft seen below do!
Spiraling Out Of Control Is Their Job!

For the Love Of Flight!
Many of the aircraft seen in these Vision-Strike-Wear.Com videos where members of the crew visited the Palm Sprints Air Museum see aircraft from a variety of wars and conflicts and each had at one time a test pilot that put it through its paces and ensured that future pilots and air crews would experience little difficulty in their future flights!
Our top 8 US Air Force test pilots have made our list. Where is yours?

Your test pilot list might be very different than our own and we welcome you to add or comment about who the “Best Pilot You Ever Saw!”
The men and women that fly the birds, the mechanics and crew chiefs that service and keep their aircraft in tip top shape is a team of the most dedicated and inspired group of professionals. The USAF has these specialists that make up this team and Vision-Strike-Wear.Com acknowledges the achievements of these incredible people.
