The Blue Impulse is the aerobatic team in Japan Air Self-Defense Force. During aerobatic flight,the degree of flight stress (physical and psychological) in pilots is considered to be very high.However, there are few reports concerning endocrinological responses (catecholamine (CA) andchromogranin-A (CgA)) to aerobatic flight. Then, we determined the levels of urinary CA andsalivary CgA during actual aerobatic flight training. Urine and saliva were collected before and afterthe flight from eight healthy pilots to measure the levels of CA (noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline(Ad)) and CgA. Although the levels of NA for postflight were unchanged for preflight, the levels ofAd for postflight were higher than for preflight. Otherwise, the levels of CgA for preflight wereremarkably higher than control level as reported in previous literatures, and the levels of CgA forpostflight were almost the same as for preflight. Our results suggest that the levels of Ad and CgAwere presumably altered by psychological stress associated with aerobatic flight training in the BlueImpulse pilots.

Since 1957, aeromedical studies have been performed in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force Aeromedical Laboratory at Tachikawa base. The objective of this report is to document the published Aeromedical Laboratory articles named “The Reports of Aeromedical Laboratory” from 1958 through the year 2006. During the 49 years, various research programs of the laboratory researchers with 754 articles in “The Reports of Aeromedical Laboratory” have had great and positive influence on aeromedical field.

Urinary catecholamine responses of fighter pilots were investigated in Aerial Combat Maneuver(ACM). The levels of urinary adrenaline (Ad) and noradrenaline (NA) were determined in fighterpilots during ACM with three types of aircraft (F-4, F-15 and F-2). The levels of Ad for post-flightwere significantly higher than for pre-flight, while changes were not significant for NA. The ratios(post-/pre-flight) of Ad in ACM with different types of aircraft are relatively similar values. Ourresults indicate that the ratio of urinary Ad as a good indicator to stress adaptation during ACM infighter pilots.
