  • On October 6, 2014 I was given the chance of a lifetime. I got to fly in the #7 F-18 Blue Angel jet with Lieutenant Ryan Chamberlain. It was life changing. If you admire the Blue Angels, just know that the cockpit experience is so intense that it takes a very SPECIAL person to be able to do what they do. Thank you to Good Jet and all the people there for the hospitality, thanks to the Blue Angels for the amazing flight and thanks to my friends and family for supporting me while I was scared as hell. ♥

      It is called the "Hook” maneuver and is used for high g maneuvers to keep more blood in the brain vice in the legs to maintain consciousness. It wasn't enough G for the pilot to need to use the hook maneuver in this situation.

      @@kdb3434 No, Kyle... It's not called the Hook - It's called the Hick. Technically, it's called the "Anti-G Straining Maneuver," but "Hick" is the sound you make, and a lot of people call it the Hick Maneuver. Nobody (ever) calls it the Hook Maneuver. Dumbass.

    Wow, I'm no flying expert but I think you did mighty fine pulling 6G. That might get you past some SAMS and FLAK, and I'm pretty sure you'd beat the FLAK below LOL. But yeah, that stall and negative g would have thrown my middle year out west for the vomit comet too! Then you're landing flashing those pearlie whites! I've seen people scream and panic during a commercial flight over a bit of turbulence. So well done super star and I envy your experience in a legacy hornet, let alone the blue angles.

      You know what? So am I, but for some reason flying doesn't trigger it at all. You the same?
