@jomardomingo77 Not to pile on to MisterChips comments, but only to add. A point made by Spanky?? or one of the other cadre was to jam as much info into the trainess in the shortest amount of time, put them thru as much stress, with little sleep or breaks to prepare them for the bullets and missiles flying around them while demonstrating decisive, quick decision making. Ground pounders nor aviation warriors get the luxury of calling a time out or recess to [re]gather the facts.

@tarded55 Thanks for a terrific post. I've been putting the word out about these uploads, especially to the aviation enthusiasts and gearheads. It is never surprising of what doesn't get to the U.S. This is great, for a 2nd time to watch thru the computer to the big screen and surround sound system. I didn't realize the age of the F18. Won't the cost and maintenance increase as they get older?

@eareshel Its the other way around

The suits put pressure on the legs, so the BP can be held up and the brain wont black out due to low blood supply

[eareshel]

@wyntje83 Probably, but remember that they wear G-suits which help with holding the blood in your legs instead of your head. The G-suits they wore in the sentrifuge didn't inflate, and the trainees had no control of their "aircraft."

Thanks for this. Never came on in the US.

[wyntje83]

Aren't their situations that a fighter pilot might come across where he'll have to endure 6/6+ G's for more than 15 seconds?

@OnlyGreatness007 Only in your case, if you miss something you don't end up smeared across the countryside.

whoo! Poot (flight instructor not really featured too much in the series) is an awesome guy! :D

@jomardomingo77 Please!!! That's nothing. It's about average for me in my first year of law school.
