This F-16 pilot got to live another day...

I guess the video shows the Auto-Ground Collusion Avoidance System in operation, system executes a recovery maneuver when it determines there's a trajectory that takes the aircraft to ground. Wasn't it the "stall" tone when he yanked out of the dive though?

And he also broke the sound barrier... He was diving supersonic. He passed out at 8.4Gs but saved his bottom at 9.1Gs. Having a bad day. I wonder if they get unsat grade for the day of they G-Loc.

The pilot said he normally gets tunnel vision to warn him of pending gloc, but this time that didn't happen and he went from wide awake to passed out in a split second

What nationality is the pilot do we know? It said it happened in Tucson so I'm assuming it's a foreign jock in training.

Which can be a very dangerous way to "manage the greyout" in order to determine how close you are to GLOC. Is it done by guys? Sure. However with a jet that has a very rapid G-onset rate, such as the Viper, your butt could go direct through greyout and that tunnel vision rapidly close to blackout, before you even realize or can react to it. Whole heck of alot different using a technique like that in a Hog, for example, than in a Viper.
 
@50 degrees nose low / 90 degres bank, accelerating through 650 knots and through 10,000' MSL (average elevation out there @2500-3000'), and recovers at 2900 AGL. Pretty sporty. Doesn't sound like a foreign pilot.
 
Scary one! The HUD is different that what I flew on the Goshawk but it looks like he went 9+ g's on recovery!

All I hear is the IP telling him to recover and probably another group.

What were the areas that were blacked out? Special aiming pipers?

First screen where you hear the heat seeker tone, they have blacked out the weapon launch parameters and weapon type, range etc. I'd think that would be sensitive to show
