Strange but true...

Post by MarkG88 »

I found some interesting tidbits in my strategypage.com newsletter just felt compelled to share this one hehe. :lol:

Viagra For Victory


Israeli researchers have found a way to improve blood flow, and alertness, for pilots flying long hours at high altitude. These low pressure environments induce drowsiness and inattention,which can be fatal for a fighter pilot. The new Israeli method employs the same active ingredient that is used in Viagra, a prescription recreational drug that cures impotence. For pilot applications, the chemical composition of Viagra will have to be tweaked to curb its main effect, which could be distracting for a fighter pilot in combat.

I guess in flight the pilot better not grab the wrong 'joystick'.... :P
