...and when this topic has come up before .... someone mentioned that the belts on FIGHTER JETS have a "life" of ... IIRC ... THREE TIMES of the mandate of the SEMA(NHRA).

And it was mentioned that these jets subject the belts to at least TWICE the G-forces that of a TF or FC.

It is just a big money-grab...




The reason the airforce can do that is because the pilot can't sue the airforce if the belts fail. The NHRA does it for 1 reason; due diligence. The $$$ part is just a collateral bonus.

Not to mention that $125 won't come close to buying a set of belts for a fighter jet.
