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.

Not all. I spent a few afternoon pulling off inspection panels on an F4J after an overzealous pilot pulled more than 7 Gs during a Top Gun det.

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.
