Quote:I saw an F16 pilot on FoxNews the other day - he was demonstrating a simulator for DaySide and said that he had personally pulled 9
Gs. If I remember right, though, the aircraft can pull far more than a person can - still nothing more than 2 digits!
Our pilots pull 9 g's pretty regularly. You kind of get used to it after awhile from what they have told me. I've done it myself when I got a ride in
a two-seater back in 97. Let me tell ya, it hurts!! The F-16 is limited by it's flight control computer to 9 g's. I don't think our old airframes
could handle much more than that.
