I wouldn't mind a trip in a Hornet, Theres a few odd things about these vids, I'm not disputing its authenticity, just few observations.
1. He should have his visor down, a smashed canopy isn't gooing to be pleasant.
2. He shouldn't be chewing gum, especially if the pilot is trying to black him out.
3. If he's blacked out once, it should have been end ex for health reasons.
4. He shouldn't be blacking out if he's been given some basic training and is wearing G pants or suit.
5. I would have thought he should have had a face mask on for OXY intake, even at low level when OXY isn't required, fumes in the cockpit could be serious, at least a face mask and EO2 would help.
Heres a photo of a Armed French QRA Mirage intercepting RAF Typhoons returning from Oman last month. The quality is a bit naff because it was through perspex.
