Default Bucket list

at least for most of us, this would be a bucket list sort of adventure.

G-forces don't work well for me. It looks cool but I can't handle much in terms of high G-forces. Being a passenger in a race car was bad, one of the space ship simulator rides at Epcot centre was bad too, some roller coaster rides do it to me too.

You get used to it. Big difference between you flying and feeling Gs and someone else flying the airplane. (One of the great things about single seat jets) Somedays are better than others. We call that your comfort level.
Working out, especially with weights, helps you maintain. In addition to your G suit inflating (which keeps blood from running down to your legs) you develop techniques to tighten your core and increase to your blood pressure to beyond stroke levels to maintain consciousness. You generally pull till your vision degrades to a circle, usually on your target/adversary, so that if you pull more Gs, you will lose consciousness. If you pull less, then the airplane is not at its peak performance. That is called Gloc for G induced loss of consciousness. When that occurs, a pilot is out for 20-30 seconds. It happened to me pulling off a target after a bomb drop. I looked back and did a snap pull like crazy. When I came to, I was 135 angle of bank, descending 30 degrees nose down through 2000' heading for impact. What saved me was having my nose up very high so when I relaxed on the stick, I had someplace to go as I recovered. Lots of accidents from that.
We know a lot more about it now and take steps to prevent it.

I puked like crazy (hamburger, fries, and chocolate shake) my first flight up in Navy Training with my instructor. T-28 Trojan. It is better to eat bananas. Not for the potassium, but it tastes the same coming up as it did going down.

Dave, She is XYla Foxlin.
She has a 'maker' Youtube channel where she 'makes' stuff. Sometimes really cool, sometimes silly.
Definitely high energy type, wicked smart, literally a rocket engineer.

I am guessing the same for me.
