Institute of Trading CEO Anton Kreil completes SXC Fighter Pilot training….
On March 15th Anton completed his first round of training for his upcoming Space trip with Space Expedition Curacao (SXC). The training took place at Groningen Air Base in Holland. The future Astronauts were briefed for several hours on flight profiles, safety procedures, ejection systems and physiological and psychological overviews. Each future Astronaut then flew in an L39 fighter jet above the Dutch countryside and completed several “profile” manoeuvres mocking the actual Space flight profile that will take place in 2014. Critical to the success of the training was to experience the incredible G-Forces that the Astronauts will “Pull” during the Space flight. The Astronauts were built up from 3G profiles to between 5G and 6G profiles. Anton “pulled” 5.8G’s during the training mission, whilst exiting his final profile. The Astronauts were also trained to fly the Jet. Anton and the other Astronauts took control of the Jet and executed several acrobatic manoeuvres, before heading back to base and landing back at Groningen Air Field. There was obviously a lot of press attention on the day. Amongst other press features, German TV station RTL will feature the day in a 1 hour slot on April 15th at 6pm CET.
Crikey, i’m not sure the 90% of people sitting at their desks in the city would have the guts to take the seat of a fighter pilot, even higher velocity than the emini 500′s , what does it do to your body? i have seen a raf pilot on tv describing high G forces as the most intense workout ever on the body, with every muscle fighting to stay in control of itself, please give us a description of your personal experience of this
Cheers buddy
Hi Rick, I pulled 5.8G which is basically like having 5.8 times your own body weight crushing down on you. Its actually not as bad as it sounds. What is a strange feeling is when the blood drains from your head and you start to blackout. then when you pull out of the G manouvers it rushes back into your head, then your vision comes back. We have to keep building ourselves up to handle the G forces basically, because on the actual Space trip we will go from ground to Space in 4 minutes. Its definitely something most people can do, you just have to have the balls to do it
Haha Space!!!! you must be bored.. whats wrong with just nipping to asda ?
nah only messing.
you wouldn’t get me in space but good luck
