  • father in the air force

    went out with a friend from memphis for his first jet ride. yeah he didnt pass out. . . he hurled in the canopy on the barrel roll. never flew in a high speed military jet again. damn shame cuz it looks like fun minus the blackouts.

    • he hasn't learned to use his muscles to ...

      yet
      and he's chewing gum 'cause he thinks that'll keep his ears from popping a bit too hard
      once he learns to use his leg, arm etc muscles to keep the blood from leaving his little head, he'll be ok

      By bigjake 1147477908
    • Very interesting, bigjake, but...

      I asked myself for a while: "Where is his oxygen mask?" Doesn't he need such a thing while flying in there?

      By Conan Edogawa 1152311267
    • no

      you don't need an oxygen mask unless you rover 10,000 ft. i work on that and their seat. it S**ks .

      By yaboi40 1177713562
    • they dont need it

      This is a news reporter being introduced to the Navy's blue angels. They do not wear G suits because the inflating air bladders in the suit could cause slight movements in the arm and legs, and this would be bad during a tight formation! This video is taken from the discovery channels special on the Blue Angels.

    • yeah

      but have you seen their training?!?!?!?!?!? damn!!!

      By yaboi40 1177713512
    • How does one control it?

      it's really interesting.

      By tricks 1147846890
    • THEY DONT CONTROL IT

      BUT FIGHTER PILOTS ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO USE AMPHETAMINES, TO HELP THEM STAY AWAKE! AND HOW THEY USE IT!

      By boyet99 1158177757
    • wrong

      by tightening the diaphram and taking quick short breaths, a fighter pilot can control his blood flow to a point, this allows them to pull high Gs for a short period of time without passing out. Pilots have not been allowed to take amphetamines since the 70s. Even back then it was not techicaly "allowed"

      By cjski21 1177794179
    • yeah those

      new g suits auto regulate their blood flow to the extremities. they were unavailable in the late 70's.

      By lucky_88 1147635155
    • DOESNT LOOK.....

      EVEN IF HE WAS WEARING A G SUIT HE WOULD STILL BLACK OUT IF HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE HIS MUSCLES

      By nachalnik 1148393356
    • no

      a g-suit usesur muscles for you so to speak. it does what tightining up your muscles would do. puts pressure on your legs so blood stays in your brain. now in the negative g case it don't do S**t !!!

      By yaboi40 1177713458
    • Wrong

      Wrong

      By Eladkit 1151789691
  • Is it allowed

    to bring women on the aircraft, make them kneel in front of co-pilot and fix their plumbing? If so, which air force is that so we could join?

    Should have been using "Hick" method.

    Say "Hook" but stop at the "K".

  • Jet?

    It sounded like it was more of a propeller than a jet engine. LOL the Gs are taking him out so badly.

    By Nagato 1173582230
    • no

      that was a hornet. i know that seat by now. sju-6

  • There's a 50min of this video somewhere

    I saw it and i have to say AF pilot are one hell of a fighter

    By bluedestiny 1153858467
  • This is not flight training.

    This guy, Steve is flying in Blue Angles #8. This is a publicity ride that the Angels do with media and local dignitaries. Look at the helmet. It's Blue Angel Blue also; the gold visor is a dead giveaway. During high G maneuvers, even with the G-suit on you need to know how to flex the extremities and grunt (believe me, it helps). Steve is a very lucky guy. Not many folks get to ride with the Angels

      that's number 7

  • the lasst

    the last scene is the funniest , its the shortest but he claims "that was a long one" :P

    By tom-b 1150139923
  • Want to try this?

    Join a local Air training corps near you (ATC). It's a insight on what kids can get out of the RAF. Even go flying with you in control! I have also experienced G-Force in a Tutor...but nothing like this. Try it!

    As Obi Wan Kenobi said: The force only works on the weak minded.

    By JJ2K6 1150062342
    • Yup

      I'm going to, They'll hopefully let me fly for the university eventually.

  • Just had to laugh and laugh leslie is go...

    That man made me laugh, it is too funny I almost died watching this clip laughing at that man. Did he really die ?

    By scarpachi 1147827197
  • whahaha

    i must laugh and laugh. Its funny how the real pilot can hold it. Of course with training and all of it but then again Pretty good

    This guy died ...he had a heart attack two minutes after this video.....they showed this on bbc on 26th of march

    By manoo_911 1147726760
    • Journalist

      this was a reporter for an Atlanta paper they had 10 mins of video of their website. He didn't die. He was at the airshow that weekend and on the newsalso

      By bucknerbunch 1147829769
  • His suit was not preasurized

    he pilot did his, it tightens up around you body so the blood will stay in your head during G force

    By drfox 1147711527
  • Gs

    you really have to experience big Gs for yourself to understand the true feeling. I flew sailplanes back a few years ago. While a sailplane (glider) is pretty much one the opposite end of the spectrum from an F-18, you can still feel Gs pretty bad. We did stalls (my instructor and I) and after a couple times of stalling and falling (negative Gs) then big positive Gs when leveling out, I was done for. I didn't really feel like passing out, I just got really motion sick. I've always had motion sickness problems. This guy doesn't really seem to look sick though(yet).

    By Puck90a 1147647909
  • Chewing Gum

    Suprised he didnt choke himself been stupid enough to chew on gum will doing something like this.

    By ChewingGum Hater 1147626541
    • u have to

      it keeps you rears from poppin. our CO does it all the time and gives us some before we launch em out.

      By yaboi40 1177713801
    • loool

      who is crazy to chew a gum in a situation like this :P

      By Hamed_8 1147653329
  • wow

    pretty intense.. I wonder how much G he was experiencing to pass out like that?

    By sliq1 1147569219
  • F18 Navy Pilots

    The few I met at Pax River did not wear Flight jackets like Air Force pilots. These jackets have pocket of air in the legs that inflate during hard G turns, keeping the blood in your upper body and brain. You hear the pilot say flex your legs, same reason. Once the blood stops flowing your lights are going out.

    By americanjock30 1147564235
    • that was a g-suit

      they got flight suits on which is like the greenish version of navy coveralls

      By yaboi40 1177713845
  • UMMM!

    I think thats why they made oxygen masks. Is it not?

    By Annonymous 1147538402
    • no

      there aint no oxygen up there and the cockpit is damn near all closed off. if any y'all got questions lemme know. i deal with they oxygen ejection seats and the pressurization. and the canopy for ejection.

      By yaboi40 1177713944
    • I don't think an oxygen mask would have ...

      He passed out because there was not enough blood was getting to his brain.

      By markstuart44 1147561629
    • OF COURSE NOT

      HE BLACKS OUT BECAUSE OF LACK OF NORMAL BLOOD FLOW TO HIS BRAIN NOT BECAUSE OF LACK OF OXIGEN IN HIS BLOOD

      By nachalnik 1148393895
    • yeah

      F**ker

      By thenotsochosenone 1147581170
  • saw this already

    the guy is a commentator and this is his first flight he couldn't handle the g force what was about 9G

    everybody knows 1 g and your body becomes te double of yur normal weight

    By dreetje 1147535584
    • know what you are talking about first

      you need to know what you are talking about first. 1g is what you are feeling when stationary so you feel the same as normal i have pulled some G's so i know this stuff. also an F 18 would take more than 9 Gs in a combat manuvere so blowing up wouldn't happen only uppon the other plane

      By chaostheory89 1148411326
    • achem

      1 G being the force due to gravity as you are stationary on the earths surface, When you accelerate it takes time for your body parts to accelerate to the same speed as the plane, its not G(ravity) as the name misleads, just force due to the plane accelerating you. Theses are just increments of force equal to that caused by earths gravity stacked. 1 G on the moon would be severely smaller. It will still act on you wether you feel it or not, 0 G means you float.

      By Eladkit 1151790448
  • the blood

    ran out of his head, thats why he kept passing out

    By word 1147534169
  • great!!

    I dont think he was ready!!!

    By Plastic monkey 1147525619
  • Hahahaha!

    What a great clip! The pilot must be very tough, he doesnt sound stressed at all as the other guy keeps passing out. Thx man.

    By Tim1976 1147519514
  • ???

    her look like dead

    By laospride 1147508052
  • Poor guy!!

    I feel sorry for him now. But Cool Clip Sam !

    By Swanie 1147485130
  • haha

    wow .. that was a long .. ?

    By shineS 1147401617
  • Hahaha!

    I love the way his eyes just roll into the back of his head as he passes out.
    Funny footage, good clip Coolsam.

    By madhatter 1147380392
    • G-Suite

      Evidently his G-suit was not fitted to him well.. drained the blood right out of his head.. Turned blue.. Head ache...

      By Chief 1147393672
    • Thats right!

      Thats right!

      By Scarface2007 1147540331
  • COOL

    I envy those fighter pilots, I wounder how much the captian, flying the F-18 , had passed out in the past. Practice makes parfact. and thats what leads to support more then 6G when flying those high speed jets. I Like to fly on high speed jets but G's are my worst fear.

    By uridan 1147817548
    • Yea

      From what I have heard, most new fighter pilots pass out in the begining of their fighter training, but over time they become conditioned to deal with it. When I was in the AF, I looked forward to getting my ride in one of the jets I worked on for so long. I always listened out for the experienced guys advice about flying to prepare myself. Then, just when my time came to get a ride, I went to the war instead. No time for joyrides then. Not saying I LOVE war, but I never regreted missing my ride for a second.

      By cbark 1159599999
  • Oh look at that!!!

    I've always wondered how an American looks like while being trained before being sent out to kill :P
