Just FYI...for anyone not aware of this...I learned just recently that the Blue Angels (and,IIRC,the Thunderbirds)perform their precision air show routines *without* G-suits because,it was explained,wearing G-suits when flying as close as they do would present the possibility of errors at critical moments.It's said that these pilots must pass rigorous physical exams to insure that they can safely tolerate the G-forces they would experience.
