i think the important thing about blacking out in regards to G’s is sustained vs momentary. a G you pull in a roll that lasts maybe 2 seconds can be greater than what you would have to account for if you sustaining a certain amount of g’s during a 10 second bank turn.
The jet is privately owned. I’m just going off what the pilot gave me for pricing.

with out a G suit you can black out at like 3 G’s

the gauge showed a max of about 3.2G’s on my ride. It was funny actually. On the video, i recall not being ready and i just started to talk. As soon as we started pulling G’s my jaw dropped because i couldn’t hold it up. (no gay comments 87FagGT) then i started laughing realizing what i had just done was caught on tape.
I was told to tighten up my leg muscles as much as possible to keep the blood from going to my feet.

I was calling so many people that i knew were at the airshow to have them stay just a while longer. My phone was dead before i got on the jet.
Never flew in a Jet or a plane for that fact, I did however fly in Mercy flight 1 Before it crashed into the Ford stamping plant parking lot. Was fucking Awsome!!! They were charging ppl $75 per person to fly a 5 minute ride “10 mile circle”. That was when they were stationed at Woodlawn beach though. they don’t offer rides anymore I guess being they are out at the airport and there are way to many planes around to just fly around.
I was offerd to fly on a C130 When I was a kid. My dad had a friend at the base that was going to get me on one during the air show. But I was to chicken shit at the time.
But Good shit gettin on the Blue Angels. Last time I seen them was when I was at the base and they had to land due to Bad weather. They are a Kick ass group!!

I saw the US NAVY and assumed you arranged something through them… which they would be paying a government rate to fill the tanks…
I don’t know what the JP8 or JP4 run, but 5 bucks seems feasible especially if they are trying to make a profit, instead of jsut making you pay for gas and calling it a day.
I’m sure to the normal customer they could tell you the fuel costs 10 bucks a gallon and many would gladly pay it. I’ve fill up planes in several different countries and i’ve seen a large swing in price… anywhere from 1.75 to like 3.75
