The Funky Chicken

This video is great.

I'm not sure what kind of fighter they're in but the camera is on the guy in the back seat who's getting his good deal fun ride.

When you're in a fighter aircraft and you're going to pull Gs, you need to flex your legs against the G suit you're wearing to keep the blood in you brain. If you don't do that the blood will leave your brain, go to your legs, you will lose consciousness and then do the funky chicken. If you are the pilot and don't wake up in time, you will also be dead.

I could usually pull around 4.5gs or so without doing any straining. At 4gs I would start to get tunnel vision which is like looking through a toilet paper tube. I did that when I was bored and it was just fun to get a little tunnel vision. Then if I squeezed the muscles in my legs, my vision would be normal. Anything above 4gs or so and I had to actually do some work to avoid....funky chicken time.

I'm surprised he didn't choke to death on that huge piece of gum when he lost consciousness. Steve, dude, no gum chewing while you're flying, OK?
