Walt,
The centrifuge at Brooks USAF School of Aerospace medicine occassionally
ask for volunteers for centrfuge rides. I have never heard of a civilian
getting in the centrfuge unless there is a specific training or
physiological profile that they want to look at. It being Fri (at) 1800, there
is no way for me to ask the question. The answer is most likely not! I know
you are pulling some healthy G's with your Sukoi and all.
I can promise you the centrifuge is not anything like G's in the plane.
They hurt worse! After 2 trips to the "fuge", my fun meter has been pegged
for life!
Why two trips to the centrifuge you ask...A F 106 driver in my F-15
squadron decided to put himself to sleep in a pitchback at FL210. He woke
up at FL430 enough to respond to Rudy Youngman's call's to roll out. Seems
the squadron CC felt that I needed to go to the "Fuge" so I could come back
and better teach anti-G training to the B coursers. Go figure, I was
already pulling 9 G's and doing damned fine at it in the 310th (my F-16
squadron) at that time. Besides the aluminum aircraft carrier on goes there
when they are scared shitless!
The second time, seems the Guard in 1988 required you to go thru the "fuge"
when converting to the F-16, A-10 or F-15. I had been in the 160th for 9 mo
at this time. We were converting from F4's to Vipers. Got to make the trip
to Brooks once again, even though my flight records were anotated for the
intial punishment and I had the VTR to prove it! Well, now I have two
T-shirts and two video's to prove it..AGAIN! T-shirt reads "spun dry by
USAFSAM department of PHYSIOLOGY!"
Thanks but not thanks. They got all the cardiac and BP monitoring from me
to last the rest of my Life! They had a hayday with me being a flt
doc...medical science and knowledge an all!
TMFI I know!

Come on doc! the Fuge is a blast! I actually asked to go through it twice.
During the 7G pull, I got a little greying just on the edge of the light
bar, so I asked to do it again...what can I say...I am a perfectionist. I
did it again and got no greying, just had to push harder that is all! 
They said they had never had anyway actually *ask* to do it again.
Oh, I didn't mention the best part...you get to wait your turn up in a
viewing room, where you can see all of your buddies faces while doing the
Anti-G Straining Maneuver (AGSM)...love that acronym! Anyway, I saw at
least two or three of my buds do "the funky chicken" and pass out....what a
hoot that is to watch. It's tough to live down the ensuing callsign!

One question?
Did you have to tough the wall to walk to the exit stairs after they put on
the brake during spoll down. Kinda uncaged your gyros with the 9g checking
high left 6 tracking the lose of light in your peripheral vision. So turn
your head forward and then down with the onset of braking! Felt like a
complete forward loop in two axis! The airman said my eyeballs were
twitching in two different directions!
Oh and the 106 driver, he went to sleep again in the Fuge...he is the one
with those two huge hoses for nostrils on the training films!

Yep, sure did have to do that one over the shoulder, that by far was the
toughest of any of the straight on Gs. We looked up and right to a high 5
o'clock position at 5gs and had to move our head to center 12 during the
spinning, then down to low 10 o'clock. Yes, you feel like tumbling
backwards.

When I was stationed at Brooks in the mid-80s, there were some airmen who
were picking up $150 a month "hazardous duty pay" by riding the
centrifuge. What a way to pick up an extra few bucks!
