The most G's I ever pulled in a fighter was 14 (wings stayed on).


Jesus Christ!

I had an FO who just told me a horror story about screwing up on a fast
jet not too many years ago. They got near the barber's pole and puled
the speedbrake about 100 knots about the speedbrake limit. The resulting
aerobatics put about 12 on the airframe and trashed it. No G suits in
that airplane either..



Are you now telling me that I have s**t for brains )

You know, you guys are giving me some ideas for a peer reviewed paper
dealing with the physics of annoying twits. They seem to attract each
other. What I'm worried about is that twitdom may have a contagious
component -- I, and you, are guilty of responding to them.

FWIW, I would not characterize MX as an idiot: his writing skills
suggest a reasonable intellegence. Besides, if his posts were just
stupid, we'd not respond.

Do you know there's getting to be more and more compelling evidence
that mental pathologies like depression are corrolated to actual
physical changes in the brain? Kind of makes you wonder if some anal
sphinctor stem cells got misdirected upwards. You'd think pilots who
put themselves in circumstances where they experience unusual G loads
would be more prone to migrating stem cells, but we have evidence it
happens to people who sit in a 1 g environment and play flight
simulator.

I need a cup of coffee!
