Hope you enjoyed this one! What aircraft would you like to ride in if you had the chance?

@theflyingswissman2069 3 years ago

Sam nearly passing out and the captain speaks like it’s nothing 😂, love it! 🔥🔥

@iiTzMojoGojo 2 years ago

The fact the pilot is talking to you while you’re struggling just shows how amazing these dudes truly are.

Crazy that the pilot just talks normally while Sam has to try to breathe while those g's hit!!! Mad respect!

@alex-cf4dy 2 years ago (edited)

Wow these guys must be so physically fit if they can keep a conversation going at 7 Gs while Sam looked like he was on his 500th push up then passes out lol

@hasaniennis442 3 years ago

That was intense, brother!!!😮 Mad respect! You took 7gs man, whoo! Much, respect to the Blue Angles - what a ride!!!

@mikebutler7605 2 years ago

The pilot never lost a breath. Go NAVY. They are awesome.

13:02 - "Hey Sam, how are you doing?" - "Good". While at the same time, tilting the head like an owl, haha.

For real though, it looks like a workout. It's impressive how the pilot is having a normal conversation while pulling those G's.

I love how humble they are. I imagine it takes a high level of humility to master something so difficult as part of a such a synchronized team. No room for ego.

Thomas is my son, and it was great that a friend sent me this video. You did a great job, Sam!

It really puts it into perspective that a guy like Sam that probably weighs about 160lbs, and during that 7.3 G turn... he weighed 1,168lbs pressed against the seat of that plane.

Sam passes out and his pilot kept talking to see if he was alright was the most wholesome thing

9:35 How is the pilot talking like nothing's happening while pulling 4-6gs, thats crazy

@mattleclair5520 3 years ago

major respect for you and all fighter pilots out there!!! The majority of people don't realize how much work goes into flying a fighter jet !!!!

@criticalmasswisdom 3 years ago

It's incredibly to think about how much sheer athleticism it takes to fly, can't even imagine dog-fighting. Not only do you have to have the tactics, you have to be an absolute Olympic level athlete.

@alexlohan2988 3 years ago

Not Sam passed out in front of the most beautiful backdrop and music combo there has ever been. You fought hard! Very cool video and experience!

@forthegipper 1 year ago

That pilot could not have gotten him through that any better. What a professional.

@peters6454 3 years ago

7gs is no joke! Incredible pilots and airplanes!

@Ronald7077 2 years ago

How amazing is that. Can any reviewer beat that clip in 2023. You Tube needs to have category awards for these types of clips.

@ImARealHumanPerson 3 years ago

I've never thought about it before Sam mentioned it. But it's wild how he's able to talk while pulling like that.

Just a normal day at the office for them.
