Welcome!
Adler, the USAF does hire civilian pilots for flight testing, But I guess it does come down to being in the right place at the right time. I know there was quite a few civilian test pilots out at Edwards when I was stationed there.

We also have civilian pilots for flight testing in the US Army. I am only asking how he served as a "fighter pilot in the USAF" but did not serve in the military.
