IIRC the F-4 experienced an increase of the actual G-loading when
manouevering through the Mach 1. If you were pulling close to the structural
limit you could have an overstress problem. Aerodinamics thing, displacement
of the center of pressure, that kind of thing. Maybe a Phantom driver could
explain it better.

The one aerodynamic thing I didn't like
was the G-dig decelerating through M 1.0 while loaded up - it came on
really sudden and if you happened to be looking outside (as is usual
while chasing someone) you were looking at a probable over-G.

Can someone tell me more about "G-dig" (using low-time piston guy type
language!)

Thanks!
