I came across these YouTube videos at some point recently. It's a presentation given to USAF aviators, I believe, on human factors & outside stressors. It's broken up into 7 videos.

Unfortunately I can't remember where I came across them, and my fear is that I actually came across them in these forums. So apologies if this is a re-post; I did a search and didn't see anything.

I really enjoyed the videos, and I think there's something to be gleaned from them even for a weekend warrior piston single flyer. The part about "rituals" in the cockpit was especially interesting. Fair warning, they are not especially "PC" by today's standards, and there's some crass language. If that bothers you, best not watch.

P.S. - I enjoy military aviation, and anyone who has links to similar "inside the military" type videos is welcome to share.

The instructor pilots at SFI are required to study this material as part of their indoc. When I did it the material was attributed to the Navy.
