@Mark_Phelps Just a little correction sir. The AFRC Test Pilot’s name that will be piloting the X-59 is Nils Larson. Thank you.

Nils Larson is a NASA pilot, not an AFRC pilot.

@Larry_S
You are correct that he is a NASA pilot - but he is located at AFRC (Armstrong Flight Research Center) and therefore is a NASA AFRC pilot. His office if right down the hallway from my office. I see him almost daily.
