That is an awesome video!!!!!
LOL
INSTRUCTOR: Are you feeling alright?"
STUDENT: "no."
Out of all those macho guys, that little petite gal seemed to do the best when it comes to resisting the effects of g-force. SHe's one of the few that did not puke at the end, and I think the only one who managed a little smile when the others were passing out or grabbing the barf bag.
LOL
INSTRUCTOR: "Sit up. Put your head up"
STUDENT: "I am. It is..... Oh. oops." (half out of chair)
Great vdeo!!!!!

Been there and done that. It's funny to see those guys G-loc at such low G's. We had to do the centrifuge when we transitioned from the A-7 (7-G airplane) to the F-16 (9-G Airplane). It isn't fun. Pulling G's was no problem for most of us because we'd been doing it for a few years but spinning around and around makes you dizzy. Even a couple of experienced fighter pilots puked after they got out. Two people hold onto you when you get out to keep you from falling down. It takes a few minutes to stop the spinning in your head before you can even walk.
I'd pull 9-g's in the airplane without a thought but if I had to do the centrifuge again I'd think twice. Those things are not fun.
I suppose it's good tho know who can and who can't pull G's. Seeing people pass out at 4-5 G's makes me wonder if they've ever flown at all. 4 G's shouldn't bother any reglular Cessna 172 pilot. Heck it takes 2 G's just to make a level 60 degree banked turn.
Thanks for the video even if it does bring back bad memories.

Des Moines, I've probably never been anywhere close to 9G. That's a bunch. Positive G never bothered me too much, but I hate neg. G. I couldn't be weightless for very long like the astronauts, or in high neg. like an aerobatic pilot. I don't know how they do it.
