Live n’ deadly TV Presenter Steve Backshall is doing a bit on the Peregrine Falcon. And to demonstrate how incredible this bird of prey is, he decided to replicate the maneuvers of the Falcon in our jet fighter. We had tremendous fun being around Steve and his crew and were quite interested as well as finding out how Steve would cope with G force and the jet fighter experience. Check it out on the BBC Live’n’deadly show and on their website. In the meantime, here are some pics of the daRead More....

Anyone flying with us – in any type of aircraft actually – will experience G force. We commonly refer to G force as “times” body weight when doing evolutions. When flying in our fighter jets, you may experience up to 7Gs. But what is G force exactly ? The gravitational force, or g-force, on something is its acceleration relative to free-fall. This acceleration experienced by an object is due to the vector sum of non-gravitational forces. Accelerations not produced by gravity are termed pRead More....

First flight for the Lockheed Martin F35C naval version of the fighter jet.
