How many Gs can a pilot withstand before blacking out?
Determine the G Force necessary to Gray-out. Add .5


If an ejection seat failed, how would one get out of the plane?
Before or after impact with the ground??


What's the caliber of an M-16?
.223 (couldn't come up with a smart-ass answer for this)


Do all fighter pilots carry a sidearm?
Only the really cool ones..


What's the order of rank for pilots?
All pilots are rank - to some degree or another.


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?

Won't be your worry - they'll remove you with a small scoop and a
vacuum-cleaner.

What's the order of rank for pilots?

Generally, the CAG forces them to take a shower every week, so they're
not as rank as they used to be.

How long is the landing deck on an aircraft carrier?

Not NEARLY long enough!

HTH...

While its obvious what Junior is asking here, one point should be
brought out to him about Marine Corps Aviators. They are NOT "fighter"
pilots. Sure they fly the Hornet in that mission, and do it well, but
guarantee if you ask any of them, their primary mission is "close
air-ground support".

I've said for years, and you may have even read it in this forum, "air
superiority is something a fighter pilot does on his/her way to and
from the target."
