In the T-34 accident last year, a video recording showed the aircraft
on the INSIDE of the turn (the one that didn't lose a wing) pulling 5
gees - in a turn.


So how many g's was the mishap airplane pulling?
The only correct answer you can give is "I don't know."

...how many g's did the
'student' apply as a result of the comment - asymmetric
or symmetric?


Enough to pull the wing off.


That's apparent - now was it below or above the limit?

Dance around this all you want...


No dancing here - I'm pointing out, with your help, that
you have little in the way of facts or experience, but
plenty of supposition and disdain for several parties
involved.

It's not the airplane - it's the operation.


Simply writing "ACM" on a flight card in the airplane
does not cause the wings to fall off. Was the stress
at failure above or below design limits? Until you can
answer that question factually and support it quantitatively
everything else is just throwing stones.
