First off, that was pretty stupid chewing gum pulling those G's and second, he was breathing out and not holding and flexing his legs when turning. I am surprised they told him to chew that.

That will surley knock you on your butt. Take a DEEP breath and flex those legs in the G suits.

Thats is too funny, however he could have choked on that gum he had in his mouth...not too smart on his part with that.

Man what a waste of a great ride! Too bad someone who would really appreciate that opportunity didn't get it. I came close one time, years ago in Salinas and lost it to a dillwad like this and he did the same. Actually, he was a weatherman.

It appears that to partake one must be in the media business. Oh well, I will always cherish my ride in a Mustang out of Palomar, even if it did cost me $35! :lol:

I was able to get a ride with the #7 Blue Angel at Offutt in Omaha some years ago.

I was stationed there and won it through my volunteer work at Offutt.

Lets just say, it came up, but it didnt come all the way out, but I never passed out. Sweet a$$ ride it was.
