It surprises me that his sudden pitch up would last long enough to black out, but if he was already loaded and then spiked on 10 g’s all bets are off. I’ve been to the races and seen the course from the air, but never flown it myself. All my experience is from flying fighters. I spent most of my career flying “over the hill” in Fallon.

That makes sense, especially with no suit and the P-51's very upright seating position. His age might have contributed as well.

I suppose you might get tired of hearing it, but thank you for your service; thanks for flying for us!
