Just a portion of black adhesive tape in somehow a geometric pattern and addition of the unique 'Combat Edge' oxygen hose, running from the mask to the inside bladder that is between helmet and head's back.
      Its virtually unchanged appearance is somehow (to me at least) a very welcomed sight and reminescent of the glorious days back then, when I was enthusiastic collector of aviators' helmets.

    I attended this air show and really enjoyed your performance.
    My eldest son and his family attended also. My son’s dream was to be a pilot for the military from a very young age. He began working on making that dream a reality very early on. We enrolled him in the Civil Air Patrol as soon as they would accept him, he was able to get a good amount of time in the air, had flown an airplane before driving a car, he was set-up for private lessons and then the most devastating thing that could happen to his dreams happened... He experienced a spontaneous pneumothorax…and then another one several months later and then another about a year later. That ended all possibilities of him ever flying in the military. The devastation it brought him (and me for always telling him, “as long as you work hard,,dedicate yourself and remain disciplined…you can do or be anything you want in this life.” turned out to be the biggest lie I ever told my kids) but we both understand that for whatever reason, this was not the path he was supposed to take in life.
    But why did I mention that?
    Because by watching this video you made from inside the cockpit, I have a much greater appreciation for what is physically necessary to do what you do. You definitely showed me how important having good lungs is to be able to fly these jets. It is one thing for a doctor or a recruiter or such to tell you why something like a pneumothorax during teen years can be too risky to accept into a flight program, but actually seeing how much of the actual flying is dependent on healthy, fully functioning lung function really gives a much better understanding and acceptance of why he could no proceed down that path. I really, really get it now.
    So, not only was this video you made entertaining, it also brought upon some understanding that I had never fully grasped before. So, thank you! I know that what I just shared was not the intent of your video, but wanted to share the unintended effect that this video had on me. It has really helped in ways I can’t really put into words.
    Anyhow, Thank you again! Keep up the great work!

We hope he steps out and does whatever other path he chooses with the same determination to excel he did to fly in America's airships. He can still be among the ground crew that keep America's war planes at the ready for pilots. Thank you for sharing this story.

It was entirely captivating and often mesmerizing. Surely the best video of its kind, ever!

    Wow! She has skills, and obviously fantastic training. I flew on a commercial jet a couple of years ago from Seattle to San Francisco and as I was boarding I noticed that two women that looked a lot like Rebel were the pilots( except they both had their long blonde hair down and not braided), and I thought, how cool is this; even though it's not that common, but becoming more so over time, I felt so comfortable about and even excited about my flight. It was so very, very windy arriving at SFO and the aircraft was rolling significantly on approach and the ladies didn't mess around and set that plane down pretty hard in response I'm guessing. I felt glad somehow they were piloting the plane. Some people prefer female doctors because they are thought to be more attentive and have more attention to detail; I think I may prefer female pilots for the same reasons! Great video!

      @@whatsup9260 - Why don’t you go for a flight with your local aero club? They are all over the world and offer rides in propeller planes, it’s very inexpensive (compared to what most people spend on a night-out in a city). Aerobatics is an experience like no other (and I’ve been climbing, sailing, diving, running, making films… a lot of variety).
      The strapping and gas supply to the G-suit (compressing the body, so your brain maintains as much blood as possible) and mask are super important, especially on a flight like this (a demo), when you can’t pause for a buckle adjustment or to roll up the sleeves.
      In essence, it’s just about making yourself as comfortable as possible in all positions and G-forces, eliminating all distractions, to focus on the flight (and fun). Not dissimilar to how you adjust a car’s driver position (in a good car with a good seat). Just more straps. 😃
      Claustrophobic - not at all! The F16 has an extremely open feel to it, there is no forward “A-pillar”, the view is fantastic, it’s more like a flying carpet feel, very open. Very few planes have such a great view.
