Stumbled upon this video (5 years old now) of my initial 9G centrifuge training at Brooks City Base, and thought it would be beneficial to share. For those unfamiliar, 9Gs of gravitational force multiplies the weight of your body 9 times, making it difficult to keep oxygen in your lungs and blood in your head. With the help of a G-suit, technical breathing, and proper muscle strain, you can train your body to sustain significant gravitational force; a requirement to be able to fly a high G-capable aircraft. Turn up the volume and listen as the instructor guides me through the 9.15G profile! *For the record... no one looks good under 9Gs, not even you @robholland5150....* #centrifuge #highgravity #gravity #fightertraining #pilottraining #fighterpilot #womeninaviation #fighterjet #usaf #avgeek #avnerd #aviation #brookscitybase
