Well, I think that centrifuge that you're talking about, that sequence in the documentary is so
00:03
cool and I think so effective because I don't think people really have a concept of what G's
00:09
are and what that is on your body. Obviously, during Top Gun, we had to figure out how to
00:15
increase our G tolerance so we weren't passing out in the back of jets. But the crazy thing about
00:21
the Blue Angels is because of the precision, because they're flying so close to each other
00:26
at such crazy speeds, how a G suit works is it literally inflates and squeezes blood in your
00:34
legs and keeps it in the top half of your body so you don't pass out. The Blue Angels do not have
00:38
a G suit because it would affect how that stick moves and potentially harm other people when
00:44
you're flying in that close proximity. So they have to learn how to endure more G's than any
00:50
other pilot and do it without that G suit, which is incredibly impressive. So what you're seeing
00:54
in that centrifuge is them increasing those G's essentially until they pass out and learning how to
01:01
continue to push that limit so that we're never worried about, you know, those pilots G-locking
01:06
when they're up there pulling off these maneuvers. But I totally agree. I think that's a really
01:11
impressive part of this documentary because it's such a human part of it. You know, you see
01:17
what it feels like someone that you and I would know, just an ordinary person walking into this
01:22
thing where you were like spun around like a washing machine until you pass out and you
01:27
continue to do that because that's what these pilots have to do. You know, even when you hit
01:32
perfection, you know there's a point past that, that there's always, you can always do better.
01:37
And I think that's such a defining aspect of the Blues.
