    Tricia Helfer is a absolute sweetheart in person as she is on screen, I met her at a convention and with her you see what you get a real genuine woman, I wish all of Hollywood could take her example, keep up that fantastic zest for life never loose your perspective 👏 (that's great a cyclon flying a viper)

    Just watched this video and you are awesome. I flew in an F-15B (passenger for an incentive ride) in 1982 when I was in the Air Force, and it was an experience I will never forget. You pulled 9.2Gs and that is amazing. Loved you as Alex Forrest in CHUCK. Great job Tricia.

    Not only is it awesome that Tricia solo-pulled 9.2 g’s, but even more impressive is she never threw up! Considering how sweet she is, it is so hard to picture her as the cold-blooded agent on Burn Notice. Great acting!

    Wow Tricia I am so jealous! Getting a flight in an F-16 has always been a dream of mine and I really enjoyed seeing the sheer joy in your eyes as you got to pull some of those maneuvers. It was great to share such an amazing experience with you through watching this video!👍👍👍

    I LOVE that you could hear the pilot kind of giggle while he was grunting through your turn, He DID NOT expect to have you bend the jet that hard and I think he was happily surprised to hear it. I wish he hadnt stopped you!

    It all makes sense now! The cylons sent a #6 back to the past to collect information on the human weaknesses. They should have suspected something when she (it) was able to take all those G's. Well we all know how this story ends....damn machines. So Say We All!!

    I'm pretty sure she was seing the world through a drinking straw surrounded by a bunch of grey fuzz at the end of the 9.2G turn at 11:30. She looked like she was right on the edge. If he'd kept the G's on for a few seconds more I'm thinking she would have been riding a unicorn to cloud coocoo land. Doesn't matter because she didn't go out. Instead she was a freaking rock star! A super sexy freaking rock star in a super badass aircraft!
