F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #28

The NATOPS limits the F-14 Tomcat to 6.5 Gs despite being designed for a maximum of 7.5 Gs. This is because anything beyond 7.5 Gs will result in permanent, most likely irreparable, deformation to the aircraft along with the fact that there was no G-limiter on on the F-14 Tomcat. Unlike newer aircraft, the F-14 will not prevent you from doing any maneuver, even potentially fatal ones, so pilots had to know the limits of themselves and the limits of the aircraft when flying. Because of this, over-stresses happened somewhat often.

During his first BFM (Basic Fighter Maneuver) hop in the RAG, “Jambo” was in a dog fight against another pilot when he pulled a maneuver that had him “grey out” (not quite blacked out). Then his back seater told him “ok cowboy, level it out and take it home.” When Jambo asked why, he was told to check the G-meter. It said 11.

they're not aliens

gee, i wonder why a bunch of thrill-seeking legal meth users flying at thousands of miles per hour and experiencing almost-loss-of-consciousness or full on g-induced loss-of-consciousness would see a bunch of strange lights exhibiting erratic movements that don't show up on radar and then disappear in milliseconds leaving absolutely no evidence whatsoever...

"There were 65 RAAF fighter pilots who completed the survey (age 20-53 yr, height 168-193 cm, weight 64-110 kg, jet hours 30-5700 h). Of these pilots, 98% indicated they had experienced at least one visual or cognitive disturbance in the high G environment: gray-out 98%; black-out 29%; and A-LOC symptoms 52%, including abnormal sensation in limbs, disorientation, and confusion."

Rickards CA, Newman DG. G-induced visual and cognitive disturbances in a survey of 65 operational fighter pilots. Aviat Space Environ Med. 2005 May;76(5):496-500. PMID: 15892551.

so it's not aliens, it's 'a state of altered perception wherein awareness of reality is absent as a result of sudden, critical reduction of cerebral blood circulation caused by increased G force'
