Think You Could Handle It?

[Volusianator]

Not sure if I could, but I'd give it a try, be sure to click on all the links on the left side, not just the main one

Not thinking so

 

[jgaeta]

the fact that the passenger passes out and the pilot is still there, is that all conditioning on the pilots part? that is just amazing, the guys flying those things are insane.

i would LOVE to ride in one, but i would CERTAINLY pass out and puke, haha.

 

[elderboy02]

That is awesome! I am sure I would pass out :headroll:

 

[champ]

I'd give it a try, I love the Blue Angels.

 

[strife]

No this is sick, I'd rather handle Charlie's Angels!

 

[cf2112]

I loved to try it, but with no video I don't want to see myself puke:bouncetau

 

[Cyrann]

I don't think I would make it...

 

[Soundwave13]

My father is a pilot & would love this!!

Me... hehe... I've almost lost my lunch a couple of times doin stalls & rolls with my Dad - I couldn't hang with the Angels...

 

[Sigolo VI]

Not a chance in the world. The only question would be what comes first: passing out or blowing lunch.

 

[cigarguy71]

Not for me.

 

[hdroadglide]

i would love to try it. don't know if i'd stay awake, but what a rush!!

on a MUCH lesser note. if you get a chance to do one of the ride alongs at a nascar track, 165+mph on a banked corner will get your attention real quick!!!

 

[Danilo]

Looks fun...

 

[mcroom]

In my younger days I would go for it! I don't think my back could take the G forces now.

 

[tatjunkie]

I doubt I could handle it but I would be there in a second if I had a chance to do it.

*They should give the passengers a G suit.

 

[rick12string]

YES YES YES. I would never pass up a chance like that even if I did pass out!

The pilots wear a special "G" suit that forces the blood from the lower part of their body upward to help prevent passing out. That and training on how to breathe and tighten certain muscle groups enable them to do so.

I was fortunate to spend a week aboard an aircraft carrier and had some cool talks with F-18 pilots. I would take a ride with them in a heartbeat. I did get to do a carrier landing and takeoff on another trip aboard the carrier, not on an F-18 though. Still wicked cool.

The blue angels & thunderbirds do not wear the G suits. It gets in the way of doing precise movements in their tight formations

I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm sure it's partly the training and partly the conditioning level of the pilot. Would seriously love to do something like that.

 

[brian657]

I would definitely like to try it, but like most of you said, I also would probably pass out.
