She took 9.5G like a boss meanwhile I’m in my country struggling with 3G

[WestSide]

This pilot is a boss pulling 9.5g and just keeps casually talking like hes chilling in a golf kart mutch respect 💯

[WishMount]

7:37 Scary how precise this heavy jet can just roll, move, and accelerate... the 4 point turn really puts it into perspective, just locks into place wherever you need it. Amazing technology

[wnabphil]

How quickly and precisely the pilot can maneuver that aircraft is mind blowing. I know nothing about aeronautics but I love these videos.

[arthurcurry]

It's unimaginable to me that this pilot is just casually speaking while pulling so much G's . He sounds like he drives a tour buss.

[apsreen]

She took 9.5 g and didn't even pass out and all she said "thats it"
Mad respect...

[Jrh]

Who is she and how did she do that with such poise and grace?? Watching her is so inspiring! And that pilot, mad props!

[OmniOne]

The pilot’s demeanor and the way they are talking like they are old friends on the phone is awesome.

[BobVaughan]

She was AMAZING! For just having gotten a brief tutorial on how to breathe and then 9.1 G's shortly into the flight! She shut her eyes briefly on the major G's but she was just concentrating. No passing out. The pilots are amazing. They have to pull those G's while still operating the plane with eyes wide open. She should consider a career change! She totally could handle it. Great job to both of them. The pilot was a credit to the military.

[Jacob-Faria]

Dude he’s flying that thing like a maniac, I can’t imagine the intensity of this on top of actual combat

[waterwoodguitars]

This looks incredibly amazing! Fighter pilots are a whole different breed of human being. To pull that many G’s like it’s nothing at all and maintain control like that is bad ass.

First I would like to compliment that young lady for hanging in there and not blowing lunch!! My hats off to you sister as I could NEVER have done what you did there and you enjoyed it and that's the best part. I got to enjoy that ride with you. I live close to Kingsley Field in Oregon and it's a training base for those awesome jets. I would love a ride but it would be so boring for the pilot. I am a private pilot for 45 years though and I would love the opportunity to take the controls just once. But thank you and that pilot for taking me with you on this flight. Absolutely awesome and young lady, you're the very best for hanging in there like that!!!
Best Regards,
Lisa

The pilot is so in his element. Great airmanship. Good example and inspiration to the up and coming pilots.

[randyporter]

She experienced something the rest of us only dream about. She did great !

[MrSoulMonk]

The pilot was like a tour bus guide showing you the monuments- Did not miss a beat. The lady never passed out and kept up the conversation. Dynamic duo!

[fzgtg]

Her eyes at the end tell it all, still focused, just go to show how our great medics are trained to deal with adversity during extremely stressful circumstances! Thank you both for your service, best in the world!

[jdbroders]

As former military, just frickin' awesome. The pilot was amazing and a true professional and the lass was great as well. She's a real trooper and just fearless. Great stuff.

[Dylansails]

Damn!! The maneuverability and precision on these things is insane! What an epic experience. She did awesome

[krysm]

Experience of a lifetime! She handled that like a boss!

[Fmech]

I still have a permanent smile on my face from my F-16D incentive flight in Misawa, Japan, back in '04 The negative Gs really hurt! Got super sick, but never hurled. It was epic!
