Pilot freaks out after hitting 7 Gs during training, thinks he’s in a “fist fightâ€

A class of their own, fighter pilots represent some of the best and brightest of mankind.
From helping beleaguered soldiers on the ground to setting foot on the moon, veterans of air combat are known for pushing themselves above and beyond as they defy gravity in birds of steel, often with a level of “cool†that makes for good Hollywood blockbusters.
Before pilot trainees can become fully-fledged military aviators, they first have to prove that they can handle the physical and mental stresses that come with high-performance flight. One of the ways to prove this is in the centrifuge, which subjects them to high levels of acceleration (or “g-forcesâ€) and tests their ability to sustain the kinds of forces they will be up against piloting some of the finest aircraft in the world.
