You don’t fly 9g’s all the time.Okay? You may pull them in a tight turn but when you start tunneling out you back off. What I said was the plane was capable of pulling +9g’s and - 3. They were or are still used as close support a/c in some SA countries. You look up the stats. But yes, you can pull up to +9gs - just hope your safety pilot is there and awake.

And what I said was the FAA certifies the plane you used to +6/-3. Do you expect me to believe the business you went to for your dogfighting regularly exceeds the FAA ratings by 50% and doesn't bend their machinery? Or is this another joke that I didn't pick up on?

This is from the business you said you went to:

Powerful, High-Performance Aircraft The SIAI Marchetti SF260 is a current production, Italian-built, fighter aircraft. It has a side-by-side seating arrangement, dual stick controls, 260 horsepower, can fly at 270 MPH, and is FAA certified to +6 / -3 G's.

No, no, no, no. I said the plane was capable of +9g’s - I didn’t say I flew it at that. You will tunnel out, black out, way before that without a g-suit. We only fly those things in regular flight suits. An no, Air Combat USA does not fly nor will they allow you to fly the full envelope. Again, I was simply stating that the plane can do +9, that’s all.
