Gee... why don't we just go out in the parking lot and fight over this bs? Or take 1.5 seconds out of your life to look it up?

Unlike combat flying the Blue Angels demonstration pilots know the maneuvers they will fly prior to execution, each pilot knows when one will be pulling gravitational forces. Knowing and anticipating the changes in gravitational forces allows the Blue Angels demonstration pilots to combat the G-forces with muscle contractions. In addition, the Boeing F/A-18’s control stick is mounted so it is centered between the pilot’s legs. The Blue Angels have a spring, with 35 pounds of pressure, installed on the control stick that gives the pilot a “false feel,” allowing the pilot minimal room for uncommanded movement. The pilots rest their right arms on their thighs for support and stability while flying. The G-suits’ inflating and deflating air bladders would interrupt this support and stability, causing uncommanded aircraft movement. Overall G-suits would detrimentally impact flight safety.
