Today we’ll be talking to the crew of Polaris Dawn and we’ll dive into some fun history on fighter jet training, we’ll talk about some of the physics involved, the G suit and nerd out on the jets, because I love learning about all this cool stuff and I assume you do too. But if you want to just see me get thrashed around in a fighter jet, I do have timestamps for all the sections so you can skip forward if you don’t want to dive into all the nerdy things that I get excited about.
