Guy can't take the G's when riding with the Blue Angels!

I should have worn a pressure suit before watching that video. My stomach's on spin.

I once stupidly agreed to let my husband put me in a hellicopter ride over Niagara Falls. At some point the pilot made a sharp turn and my window was close to facing the ground.

That was 3-4 years ago. I'm still not fully recovered.

Guess you're definitely not signing up for the IAF any time soon then, Avon?

If that stands for "It's Above my Forehead", then you're absolutely right!

Funny, my dad knew the guy who operated those helicopters near the Falls when we lived in that area.

All these videos always put me 'back to earth' as far as my dreams of flying go. I'm a ground-bound jet junkie, what to say :hmm:
