The Red Arrows Today
The Red Arrows Todayの要点や背景を丁寧にまとめました。最新トレンドを一目で把握できます。
How do you become a Red Arrow pilot? You don't apply. They hunt you. Every year, the team nominates a handful of top RAF pilots, and then they put them through a grueling interview that involves flying in formation while a guy in the back seat shouts “Do it again, but with more panic!”
Only three new pilots are chosen each season. That’s a 99.9% rejection rate. It’s easier to get into Harvard than it is to fly a red jet over a beach in Bournemouth. And once you’re in, you don’t just fly. You have to learn the routine, which is a 4,000-page manual of exactly where your wingtip is supposed to be at the precise millisecond you see a cloud shaped like a sheep.
Oh, and you need to be able to do Vomiting Larry—that’s the official nickname for the guy who gets G-locked during the steep climbs. It’s a real job. Someone has to pull 9Gs until their vision goes black and they start tasting their own socks.
