Obviously a pilot is better trained and most poeple will definitely past out but not everyone. Proper breathing technique and tightening the living crap out of the muscles of your legs will keep you conscious through that.

    My brother and I were hunting in Ky and 3 fighter jets came over at tree top level and turned straight up into the sky directly over our deer stands. I cannot explain the sound, and how the ground and air was shaking. It scared my brother so bad that he literally jumped from his deer stand. I was already walking to my vehicle and I dove to the ground, thinking the woods were about to explode around me. Once the ground stopped shaking and the noise dissipated, I ran to my truck and in the distance I saw 3 fighter jets looping through the sky. We both said we thought we were about to die.

It was quiet with the waves and then two F18’s came across the ocean about 100m off the surface then went in to a vertical climb right above me! Didn’t catch a fish that day.. the ground is still shaking.

    He didn't use the whole runway, he took off then used the rest to build up airspeed that he then traded for altitude. An F-16 can't get to a high enough speed in the runway to same safely pull into a climb like this. This is the same old trick they used to do with the Lightning jet to make it seem like it could climb vertically from takeoff. It couldn't. But it could trade speed for altitude, and it has enough thrust to sustain the climb for a lot longer before they had to level off.

    I did this two times in a military grade f16 trainer (simulator) which was rigged with VR. I counted missisipis and it was similar (albeit slower because the flight model was of an older f16). VR does capture the distance and the sense of traversal quite well, and when you look out the window after 20 missisipis to see broken clouds and the terrain so far beneath you, you will go "damn!" The flight model I flew, I always thought the f16 would be more comfortable to a rice-burner - nimble ride capable of sharp turns, but it flies more like a muscle-car drives, fast and weighty, tearing through the sky. I've talked to a couple of pilots and they say that your regular flight sims don't capture the power and the force these beasts exert, and I can see that after sitting in a fully functional cockpit with ir tracking and VR.

    Power and Control: 1987; Florrenes Air Base, Belgium: 1st Duty Station out of Bootcamp…U.S. gave the Belgiums some F-16 and they would take off/land on their runway, right over the make-shift softball field we used for Morale & Recreation… Will never forget seeing a couple of their pilots make their F-16’s actually hover !!! The trick was to balance the throttle/burners, with the nose-up, at almost 60-70 degree angle, while remaining low enough to the ground ( I’m guessing about 90ft) so we could see the pilot waving at us !! I viewed this from center field during a squadron game while we were in the middle of game !!!! ‘Talk about grown men and women stop and cheer, looking like a bunch awestruck kids !! Watch’m that bird just hover like a helicopter, then take off while still in the air was unreal !!!!
