Hey everybody, so I haven't read a whole lot of the thread but noticed this last night on Giggles stream. The G-LOC is a little wonky in the Viper.
So I'm just a normalish guy. Been in the Air Force for 13 years, not especially athletic although not out of shape. The last 2 years I've been an F-16 GIB. I went to centerfuge with zero strain training. The 9G profile is required to fly in the 16. Take this for what its worth, but a dude who had just learned what a G strain was, then thrown into a centerfuge where I would do sustained 9G did not G-LOC. I barely even lost vision. Squeeze the butt, push out the stomach, and breathe right.
Now after two years of lots of BFM flights, it's laughable how off the Viper G-LOC seems. Also to the guy who said the feet are above my butt, at least in the backseat that is not the case. Maybe if it was 6 foot 2ish and had the seat ran all the way down. But I'm 5 foot 8ish on a good day, so I run the seat all the way up or until I can put a fist between the canopy and my helmet.
I'm not an expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
