The Blue Angels take pride that they do not wear pressure suits during their shows. Unbelievable! They are the BEST!

Pressure suits? That is a requirement if flying over 50,000’!

You mean “G-suits.” which are like pants worn over the flight suit that have bladders that fill with air when high “G” forces are encountered when maneuvering. The suit acts to prevent blood from going to the lower extremities, thereby avoiding gray outs or black outs.
Not a big deal. I’ve worn g-suits and also not worn them, one just has to be ahead of the g-forces which are controlled by the
pilot to begin with.
