I heard, from a pilot, that RAF pilots have to be able to swim a length of the pool (dunno if that's Olympic or not) underwater, get out, do 25 press ups, swim a length underwater again, do 25 press ups, and basically continue that til they throw up. Then do it twice more

woo!
1 lenght underwater in olympic pool i can do, the following 25 pushups shouldnt be a prob either, but i'm 100% sure some1 would have to fish me out of the water halfway through the second lenght and perform CPR...

Was watching Mythbuster yesterday when they were tryin the sonic boom breaking glass myth. I was amazed at the ease these pilots can take G's: I mean they were pulling like 4 or 5 G's testing the host's limits, and the pilot was talking to him the whole time, not even breathing hard, while the guy in the back was being completly crushed and finally blacked out. These guys are beasts.

Edit: oh and cheers to you automaticaddict. Pure class

Takes a bold man to admit he was wrong and apologise. Well said mate, many others would of carried on regardless.

Oh yeah, I mean pilots have to be at least as fit as a foot soldier (for obvious reasons), then has to be even fitter to cope with the insane Gs and pressures exerted on him. It's much the same with F1 drivers. They're some of the fittest sportsmen out there because they have to cope with forces getting on 6g sometimes. They lose several stone of weight every single race.

Yeh earlier this year Alonso's water delivery system wasn't working during the race and he lost somewhere in the region of 5-6kg, in an hour and a half. When Michael Schumacher was at his peak he was doing 4 hours of training a day, and when in Malaysia (the hottest and most humid race of the year where cockpit temperatures can hit 60 degrees) Kazuki Nakajimi, who isn't even an accomplised driver, played a full length tennis match, then went for a 10km run, in his race suit, to become accustomed to the heat.

Back on topic though fair play to Automatic Addict, lots of respect and camaraderie in here, now can we all get back to trying to blow holes in each other?
