I remember an early documentary on the F-16 saying that they were the most dangerous fighters to fly due to the high Gs pulled. The best pilots were said to be short women with high blood pressure.

Close but it was the rapid on-set of g’s that gets ya. All fighters, like the F-15 and F-15E, pull just as many g”s.
