Your biggest adrenalin buzz?

on a small fishing boat... going nose first off the top of a wave and waiting to fall forwards or backwards... seemed like it took an eternity.

Motorcycle accidents are an effective, but otherwise pretty shitty, way to get the adrenaline flowing. DAMHIK

Adrenalin = Super power.

Haha I can relate to that. When I had my little off I got up walked 4 steps to the bike, it felt funny walking. I looked down only to realise that I had 'created' 2 knee joints in 1 leg. Compared left to right, left had 1 bump (knee) then boot....right had Knee, another bump, then boot. When I leaned on it - it bent more......and down I went.
Doc was not happy about that - 1 break fractured into 16 breakes and 32 tiny fractures, all due to me not knowing WTF was happening.
Stupid adrenalin

At the time this was certainly up there, my first proper drop. Having solid ground just drop away from you is quite a feeling.

Spear fishing in 200mtrs of big ocean with lots of bloody berley.

35 mtr waves & 120 knot winds in the Southern Ocean, for 3 days.

Actually managing to score with a stunningly beautiful woman I thought was wayyyyyy out of my league. It was'nt the fact I scored that the gave me the adrenalin rush.

Getting totally airborne in a game boat going over the Hokianga bar, twice.

Three of these things I would never do again given the chance.

Ummm,
They are ALL Twin Seaters.... And I'm still wondering...
Part of the kit is a G-Suit. It is as important as the Helmet and Gloves.....

Banner towing was usually done Solo too... As the fighters had LIVE rounds in them......

Depends which airforce you were in. Not all aeromaccchis where twin seaters. Only need G suit if your going to be pulling high G's. Still used nomex fireoveralls,helmet and gloves. Ye the rounds where live with dummy heads dipped in paint/dye (so you could tell who had hit the target).

All Aermacchi MB339CB's were/ are Twin Seaters...... and powered by Rolls Royce Viper 680's.

It appears your Ariforce didn't have the same rules as ours.

G-Suits are for high G's, yes.... And As the Aircraft was capable of 7.33G (Self imposed 6.0G limit by RNZAF), then our pilots ALWAYS wore them.....
