My husband is a retired Navy pilot. He tells me it takes great physical strength to wrestle an F18 in flight while doing those maneuvers.
This woman is not piloting one of the show jets, she is piloting the transport plane.

With all due respect to your husband, would you mind asking him how a plane with fly-by-wire flight controls needs to be "wrestled" with by the human pilot and not the computer?

What type of aircraft did your husband fly?
