100 % upvote! Resteemed too!!!
Some great shots!!
Have you seen any of the celebrity ride along vids on YouTube with the Blue Angles? Would you go if offered? No way I would LOL. Most of the people black out coz they dont use pressure suits like the Thunderbirds.
I cannot imagine them not putting a Gsuit on them when they take them on the incentive ride. That just doesn't make sense to me. The egress training is not impossible to do for the most part.
Would I do it? Yes. :) I like flying.
Thanks so much for the big upvote and resteem! Appreciated fully. As an aside, I would used a longer lens next time as this was only 18-275 mm and a nice 400mm would have been nice. :) The only reason some came out half-way decent is I was right on the runway. (it was not the day of the show, only practice)
Thanks again, PAUL. :) Happy Sunday!
I know its crazy! There are LOADS of videos on YouTube of the people passing out. This one is quite funny and short lol.
I am sure he has a G-Suit on, but, he is not doing what he is supposed to be doing for the blood to flow so this won't happen.
Going back to the previous comment I forgot to add:
YEASSSS! We BOTH need to treat ourselves to some new 400mm glass!!!! Just think that will take a bunch of upvotes :)
Now, my dear friend Denise, you must realize the Blues dont wear G suits. Thats the difference between the Tbirds and Blues :-p
Haha! That is true, but it is the tensing of the muscles that constrict the blood flow to the head. The Gsuit helps with the flow to the legs. Besides, Tbirds go faster and higher. Probably. :) Kidding. I met the Blue Angels team a few years back and they are so typical fighter pilot except they own that Canadian politeness that I am addicted to.
And yes!!! New glass when I get more upvotes!
