I'm currently an Army H-60 pilot with the National Guard, and work on the civilian side as an Experimental Flight Test Engineer for a biz jet manufacturer. My long-term goal is to be an experimental test pilot, but from my current position in the National Guard, I don't see a way to get there. I don't believe the National Guard sends people to test pilot school.
Additionally, 12 month deployments with the Army don't go so easily with a family, so I'm interested in the DCA program to continue my aviation career. Is there any path in USCG aviation that could lead me to test pilot school or otherwise becoming an experimental test pilot?
