Soon, I found myself closing *my* eyes, and feeling the

"one-G steep turns?"

You know, the kind that Bob Hoover would demonstrate whilst pouring a
glass of iced tea...

Those were called 'loops' as I recall.

And there's no way I can think of to pull up at the bottom of a loop
without exceeding one G.

They were barrel rolls.

Right. They weren't one G turns. Or was Mr. Honeck performing
aerobatics with his family?

Nah, nothing *that* exciting, I'm afraid.

You're right, of course, you really can't "swoop" without exceeding 1
G somewhere along the flight path. But, if you do it right, most of
the maneuver is very gentle, and the pushover at the top is quite
fun.

I guess I should have just said "gentle" steep turns, rather than
yanking and cranking.

Barrel rolls exceed one G. The only roll you can do at one G is a
perfect slow roll and the orange juice would go everywhere in one of
those.

Oh, that's easy!

Turn the aircraft onto its edge, and use some up elevator. See, one G
laterally, one G vertically. One G all 'round (and some very interesting
looks from the passengers).
