I remember seeing some video taken in an F-16B (I believe). It was a
student and instructor pilot who'd just done a loop and the student went

to
sleep. You can see the Viper heading towards the ground with the
instructor calmly saying over and over, "Recover. Recover." I guess he
finally takes the stick and pulls up. Made the hair on the back of my

neck
stand up.

It pays to be in shape!!
