Amazing video! I loved the hula dancer on the top of the panel, wagging about during the flight.

And man, going in and out of the cockpit during those steep turns like the co-pilot (is that what the military calls their right seaters?) does would make my head spin!

I came across this great video after watching the Fat Albert video....Motor Trend tests the Corvette ZR-1 'Blue Devil' against a Blue Angel hornet. They drag race on parallel runways and swap rides for a bit. Also, for guys that don't wear g-suits, I am absolutely stunned at how the Blue Angel pilots can speak plain as day while pulling 7+ g's. Amazing. I mean the guy might as well be straight and level.

Left seat moves around a lot during the maneuvers, I imagine it takes a fair amount of force to get the control deflection needed to make that baby roll as fast as it does!
