New trailer out.
Nope. Tradition. That’s it.Unless you're one of the Blue Angels. They don't because g-suit inflation can interfere with their control of the aircraft.
Tradition plays a part, but the inflation of suit CAN interfere with control of the aircraft slightly, and in such close quarters a tiny movement on the stick can kill someoneNope. Tradition. That’s it.
Think about it.
Every fighter pilot wears a g suit into combat.
Additionally, G-suits would detrimentally impact flight safety.The Boeing F/A-18's control stick is mounted between the pilot's legs. The Blue Angels have a spring tensioned with 40 pounds of pressure installed on the control stick that gives the pilot a "false feel." This allows the pilot minimal room for un-commanded movement. The pilots rest their right arms on their thighs for support and stability while flying. Therefore, inflating and deflating air bladders in a G-suit would interrupt this support and stability, causing un-commanded aircraft movement.
The Blues attach a 50-lb. spring to their stick. Between that and the column being placed b/t their legs, they don’t want any interference from the air bladders in a g-suit.Nope. Tradition. That’s it.

Here - this will tide you over:
I'm curious to know if the new film has as much homoeroticism as the original.
I'm worried about you Chuck. You and zeetes both.
