Thanks a lot for the info. The clear picture is starting to emerge.

I have to say, that picture at post 103 still concerns me. I realize that seeing the pylons and other aircraft must be difficult - but look at the posture the pilot is in. An unexpected, sudden 8g pull up would really slam him backwards. I don't see the large padded headrest I would expect behind him.

Someone in this thread was talking about 10g’s in a military. That's one thing the fighter aircraft designers work on pretty hard - cockpit ergonomics's. The position you are in has a lot to do with the gs you can withstand.
