Reporter gets taken for a spin in an F/A 18 (jammy sod) and passes out several times. V. Funny.

I don't think I'd ever get sick of going to work if I flew one of those for a living!

Id probably be the same but still the expressions on his face, he tried so hard "took a little bit of a nap"

Kintarō Hattori

That's pretty funny- the faces he pulls are hillarious!

Yook

Jesus, thats hilarious! Gotta hand it to the guy for even attempting it though.

Huggles

poor [email]b@stard...the[/email] bit where he turns green is pretty sick!

That's pretty funny alright, wouldn't have thought that chewing gum and running the risk of passing out would have been the best idea though.
I'd say its a great experience though!

yeh, i was thinking the same thing, wouldn't be the smartest thing to do.

don't like the way that site is labelling him as a tough guy then as a not so tough guy gets knocked out.

i'd like to see the creator of the site not pass out at a full 7 G's

ChityWest

Bloody hell - couldnt believe the way that plane shot straight up about a minute into the first clip ! excellent.

Hardcore. My respect for those fighter pilots has just gone up several notches.

Tusky

That looks horrible...

Femelade

oh my god, i'd hate that! what a terrible feeling!

dubtom

Those pilots must be super fit. Fair play to the reporter, I'd say I would have upchukked all over the pilot.I usually nearly pass out at funderland:D

JackKelly

Genie Mackers. I know those fighter pilots go through a load of training, but still, managing to not pass out while doing 7 G's every 3 seconds is pretty impressive.Haha, same can't be said for the reporter. Fair play to him for going up. I'd say it was class.

padi89

Thats class,took alot of balls to do that.Its incredible what those jets can do,the climb rate is crazy:eek:
He didnt look like he had a G suit either? Still i take my hat off to him.

SouperComputer

I went up in an aerobatic plane about a year ago. Great crack only 6g though

Apparently I managed a near-perfect loop the loop

GrumPy

LOL the expression on the chaps face when he starts to pass out.

Takeshi_Kovacs

Pretty damn cool alright, those pilots are very fit..
But this guy, John Stapp,was something else. He survived a deceleration force of 45 G's!! for a living...He also tested to see what happened to the human body if the canopy of a fighter plane blew out at over 500 miles an hour.. and lived to tell the tale...
