That is hilarious. The clip when his face is all contorted and his eyes roll back in his head is priceless.

How many g's one pulls would depend if they are going around a corner . . . or spinning out of control. The latter would pull more g's. Remember the HWFMR motto, "If you spin often enough, sooner or later you'll hit an apex."

I think the reporter in the F-18 hit his apex a few times.

Point taken Bon, but the speed or lack thereof, if we're talking about HWFMR, is in direct correlation to the g force (or lack thereof) in a corner or spin.

Friend of mine came back from a ride with an instructor looking a little like that. Looked at me and said "I don't think I should have had those breakfast burritos"

He hit his apex, zenith and nadir in a matter of seconds. Not sure if the time lapse was correct on the video but Athens is about 50 or so miles from Dobbins AFB. Took them no time to get there.

I would like to try that.

Eyes rolling back in his: Priceless!

That was funny when they took off under full throttle the way the guy's face lost its shape. Lol. I wanna go do that!!! I've always wanted to fly in a plane like that. Ho-hum.

Where can I get some of that gum? The way he was chewing it, I figure it must be awesome stuff. Plus, it helps to prevent you from puking. Could've used that bad boy in college.
