Is fighter pilots actually the most?

>Must stay in peak performance and top health at all times so you can survive and operate at 5-10 Gs without passing out and at the same time maneuvering a fighter jet while enemy planes is chasing you.

Debate me.

      With the feeling of a fricking elephant is sitting on your chest.

      Also, all their equipment they wear, you have to be able to move rapidly in the wienerpit and turn and stuff and that shit aint easy with all the G-force. Also you must be 110% focused and calm all the time and be ready to solve problems that occur.

      Not to mention that if you get shot down you are supposed to survive on your own for a while in enemy territory.

      Do it yourself if you're so fit and healthy

    Frick no. A huge part of flying is dealing with g forces like you said but having some fat and being short give you a major advantage. Also there is no time for gym at pilot training.

    My Contracting office was the most IST squadron on base because we had the time to take 2 hour lunches with 1 hour of gym time. Maintainers looked like shit because they worked 12 hours a day and got fed hot dogs at their work stations

      Hope you havent been skipping cardio

      1G = acceleration of 9.8 meters/second
      9G = 88.2 meters/second
      88.2 meters/second = 197 miles per hour

      Given a general human sustained upper limit of 9G for 30 seconds.

      Imagine accelerating at 197mph for 30 seconds in space.

      At the end of the 30 seconds, you would be traveling at ~5910 mph.
      Dodging missles, lasers, cannon blasts, etc would require sharp impulse thrusts in various directions probably of ~10-15Gs for mere seconds at a time.

      Your head itself would weigh 100-150lbs for brief bursts of time. More if you factor in the helmet weight.
      G forces are slightly buffered/dampened by shock absorbers in the wienerpit but not entirely negated.

      The tech specs are actually listed in Gundam wikia.

      The RX-78-2 Gundam has a listed top acceleration of 0.93 G
      RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyranthes" Full Burnern = 3.16G
      RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium"= 5.00G

      Unicorn is unlisted

      And in Gundam lore, the minovsky particles generated by the reactors disrupt remote communication and electromagnetic waves (i.e. computers). This is why humans MUST pilot these relatively analog mechs or why they later switch to Psycommu (mind control) systems.

      probably stressful but I think i'd be pretty rad to fly a jet.

      >flying at supersonic speeds miles in the air while stimmed out of your mind on pharmaceutical grade meth.
      sounds like an adrenaline junkies wet dream.

    >maneuvering a fighter jet while enemy planes are chasing you
    This hasn’t happened outside of US propaganda films since probably WW2, all of the wars these “fighter pilots” have been through are basically them bombing the shit out of people with no air power. Most of them die from malfunctioning equipment rather than enemy fire.

    fighter pilots do lots of squats and deadlifts to train their legs for g compression
    a lot of them look like the SS t rex meme

    They're not even close in fitness to the guys in the street knocking on doors. Not remotely.
