Default Zzzzzoom in Zzzzzero Gravity

. At about positive 10 g's while supersonic it exhibited a slight
mach tuck which went away at 10.5 g's I didn't explore negative g past 9
because
I had a large breakfast and was mildly to slightly uncomfortable.


I'm confused, Jim Campbell is a very fat man, and normal people in good
shape begin to experience blackouts at 6-7 g's. How might a flabby pile like
Zoom expect to calmly evaluate flight characteristics at 10.5 G's?? I really
couldn't care less if he rode with Hawking, you pay- you ride, that easy,
but who would believe a man that out of shape could fly the way he claims??


That's been mine and a lot of others argument for years .He once claimed to have
pulled ,I think positive 10 g's in a Sukoi and close to 9 negative.I might be
off a bit on the numbers but they're close. Thus started the famous "Battle of
the Sukoi G's" which earned those who participated a battle ribbon.He said he
could do it because the seats were slightly reclined. ;-)
