Unsupported Speculation

I was browsing Youtube because I didn’t have much to do, and a video suggestion popped up that were student fighter pilots going through the High-G centrifugal training.

Now, many people have seen these videos, and they are of the deformed faces of the student pilots while they spin in the centrifuge, and they have to practice compressing the muscles in their legs and other things in order to try to keep oxygen-rich blood in their heads for as long as possible before they lose consciousness.

I had a sudden flash of an idea about what is going on here, and it is that everyone, and I mean Everyone WILL lose consciousness, and the fellow that is controlling the centrifuge will make freakin’ sure of it. Then, they will post ALL of these ridiculous videos onto social media, and the reason is because fighter aircraft cost tens of millions of dollars apiece.

You see, everyone is vulnerable to that little devil that says that they are gonna be the only fighter pilot in fighter pilot school that can pull Gs continuously, and jus’ keep turnin’ an’ turnin’ an’ turnin’, but the truth is that you have to plan those turns to occur at the very correct times, and make sure you pull off whatever you are trying to do, or next best thing salvage a situation intelligently when it doesn’t go the way you wanted, or what will happen is that you will either lose forward velocity and then not be able to turn quickly anymore, or you will faint in your seat.

This is why they put student pilots through the shared shaming process, and get it solidly lodged in their heads that a dogfight is more like a high-speed planning and execution process of applied theory, and that if you just make spontaneous decisions instead, you will lose to the thinking-man’s fighter pilot.
