Another Reporter in the back of a Blue Angel Video

Sorry if this has been posted already, but just found this at the online version of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

This is broken up into bite-size segments. The reporter passes out three times. But he took it a lit better than the reporter in the other video posted here several days ago. I wondered why in the other Blue Angel video the reporter was chewing gum so vigoriously. This guy says they give them cinnamon gum as it is supposed to keep them from getting nauseated.

Yeah. Don't know if you saw the other video posted here or not, but the other reporter got totally freaked out, scared, and sick, and had the pilot return to the airport. And he was a pilot! This guy passed out three times and just took it all in stride and acted like nothing happened other than a pithy comment.

Actually it is ginger in the gum, not cinnamon.

yea i did see the other one and thats what was kinda weird to me. he was mr. high and mighty saying he was a pilot and he couldnt hack it. the other guy was cool and the comments were great. i mean he did some hard stuff and knew that they werent going to kill them but how many times can you say that you pulled 7.5 g's while flying with the blue angels. great video great post.
