Honoring JB and Andrea’s Impact at NTPS
On December 11, 2024, the NTPS community came together to bid farewell to two of our esteemed leaders, President James “JB” Brown and Chief Flight Instructor Andrea Pingitore. After completing a two-ship T-38 fini-flight, JB and Andrea were honored with a water salute and ceremonial hose down—a time-honored aviation tradition.
Their dedication, expertise, and passion for flight test have profoundly impacted NTPS and the countless students they’ve mentored over the years. As they embark on new adventures, we celebrate their contributions and legacy, knowing they’ll continue to inspire wherever they go. Please join us in wishing JB and Andrea blue skies ahead!
