What is your fitment on these 4-bolt rims? I have a set that is the exact same style, but have not run across any others.

They absolutely do. They're pulling 7.5+ Gs frequently.

that's what i figured.... it's pretty much a safety device just like an ejector seat is... both save lives

The Blue Angels absolutely DO NOT wear G-suits. They believe the suit would impair their touch on the stick while flying close formation.

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.

Doesn't matter anyways. A few years back when those things were first hung on telephone poles some people tried to find Mike and Heather with no luck. Most likely a hoax.

I stand corrected. I was watching "Blue Angels: A Year in the Life" and thought I heard otherwise and saw them wearing a suit.

The Blue Angels do not wear any G-suits. And they do not pull 7+ gs continuously...not to say that they dont, just not continuously.
The ejection seat has nothing to do with the G-suit. If that were true then the pilot would not have been able to punch out over the ocean 2 years ago after smacking the water.

The Air Force Thunderbirds do, I believe it is because of some AF regulation.
