My father, retired USAF, says pulling 7 g's in a fighter aircraft is quite common. He says they are rated for 9+ g's.

Cover Up again It doesn't matter who is in charge ( rats or the gop), the GOVT always lies.

We groundcrew got so p*ssed off at this guy (he did it four days in a row), that the maintenance Chief handed him a speed handle as he climbed out of the cockpit the "last" time he did it.
