You don’t fly 9g’s all the time.Okay? You may pull them in a tight turn but when you start tunneling out you back off. What I said was the plane was capable of pulling +9g’s and - 3. They were or are still used as close support a/c in some SA countries. You look up the stats. But yes, you can pull up to +9gs - just hope your safety pilot is there and awake.

And what I said was the FAA certifies the plane you used to +6/-3. Do you expect me to believe the business you went to for your dogfighting regularly exceeds the FAA ratings by 50% and doesn't bend their machinery? Or is this another joke that I didn't pick up on?

This is from the business you said you went to:

Powerful, High-Performance Aircraft The SIAI Marchetti SF260 is a current production, Italian-built, fighter aircraft. It has a side-by-side seating arrangement, dual stick controls, 260 horsepower, can fly at 270 MPH, and is FAA certified to +6 / -3 G's.

“tight turn”?

“Start tunneling”?

“safety pilot”?

My friend, Sky Dancer, you have to admit those phrases/terms are adorable.

Seriously, not to be insulting but they are, as no fighter pilot in the world would ever say those things.

And what is a “safety pilot?”

Did they teach you the anti-G straining maneuver while at that school?

;-)
