Tom Cruise says he blacked out at 9.5 Gs while flying a real F 14 for Top Gun, but when he woke up, his pilot put him through an even crazier experience
“When I made my deal, I said, ‘I've got to fly in the F 14.’ I had to be filmed in the F 14 live.”
“We pulled like nine and a half Gs and I kind of blacked out. When I came to, I was like, ‘Okay, so now I'm going to go get it done so I can do the next take.’”
“He pulled up so hard and for so long. My head literally was touching the ground because the G force had my spine. I was going, ‘Bozo, Bozo!’”
