So if a news person, not wearing a G Suit or oxygen mask, claimed to have pulled 9Gs (and not passed out) taking a ride with the blue angles....chances are they are full of BS?
Is the news person named Brian Williams?

9 G’s is possible with the thunderbirds. The slick configured F-16 has a 9 G limit
No news person is going to pull 9 Gs with or without a G suit.
The Blues can do their entire set of maneuvers without exceeding 5 Gs, although they occasionally pull a little harder to turn a corner to make up some timing.
Even a trained military pilot on average needs help over 5 Gs witha G suit.
F 16 pilots will often pull up to 9 Gs with G suits and vests and special body maneuvers squeezing their diaphragms to keep blood in the chest cavity and head. They have stilted seat to increase tolerance.
Nobody is pulling 12 Gs.
Wearing a G suit does not interfere with flight controls.
Demonstration pilots trim nose down so that there is always a pull force required on the stick and all control movements are in the same direction, pulling, more or less as required. That allows more precise control than neutral trim which would require pushing and pulling around a null point.
Pulling Gs makes pilots handsome and cool and girls delirious.
