Questions Regarding Becoming a Marine Fighter Pilot. ? Thanks!
How many Gs can a pilot withstand before blacking out?
If an ejection seat failed, how would one get out of the plane? What's the caliber of an M-16? Do all fighter pilots carry a sidearm? What's the order of rank for pilots? Thanks!!!! Suppose after college someone wants to become a Marine Fighter Pilot: How long would that take? Where would the fighter pilot training take place? Anywhere in Colorado? If they were shot down, what would a common rifle and sidearm be of the Taliban? At what altitude does a parachute automatically open? What's the equivalent horse power of a fighter jet? Two any two-pilot or pilot/navigator planes take off from aircraft carriers? If so, what planes? Suppose they opt to fly missions from Aircraft carriers. How long would this take? (Basic training, flight school, etc.) What would they be commissioned as, if they went ROTC in college? What's the standard Marine sidearm? What's the preferred sidearm? What do they train with? What's the pilot's standard sidearm? What plane(s) would they be flying from an aircraft carrier for bombing missions? What are the most advanced planes and what are the preferred planes? How long is the landing deck on an aircraft carrier? What would the typical fighter jet be armed with for a bombing mission? |

If an ejection seat failed, how would one get out of the plane?
Unstrap, jettison canopy, trim nose down and release stick. Would the parachute come out with the pilot in that case?... _____________ José Herculano |

Jose asked in reply to:

Depends on the era and type of seat/chute.Up until the F-100 thru F-105 it "should" in USAF a/c, Martin Baker type seats with integral parachutes is a different story. Oxmoron1 MFE |

Mary Caught me in the act of being elitist, didn't you? Can I defend myself by saying that I was narrowly focused on the question regarding "Marine Fighter Pilot"? Nahh, I forgot the heavy operators, pure and simple. |

Caught me in the act of being elitist, didn't you? Not at all. I caught you saying something I'd normally say. Can I defend myself by saying that I was narrowly focused on the question regarding "Marine Fighter Pilot"? Nahh, I forgot the heavy operators, pure and simple. All fighter pilots in the Navy and Marines carqual. That's what we both would mean, but not say. If I hadn't just been talking to a former P-3 pilot, I would have forgotten them, too. We were talking about tanker aircraft or the C-130s would have never occurred to me, either. I'm not even going to mention the adversary F-16s that were, presumably, flown by both Navy and Marine aviators. That way lies madness and an interminable thread about hook size, training, and "what if". Rejoice with me. They've got the rafters and roof sheathing on our house, having put up the load-bearing walls in two days, and have started on the non-load-bearing walls and the water lines and wiring. The sheer-wall sheathing is being done today. We have the pre-drywall walk-through on Tuesday, a week from now. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer |

house, ... I'm happy for you, Mary, but do you really need a roof? It never rains there, does it? ((:-)) It was more than 50 years a go, but when I went through, every cadet had to carqual in basic, in an SNJ. At that time, no one had yet been required to choose single or muti-engine. vince norris |
