And no, it is not possible to breathe water, you can only breathe
gases, if you want to be pendantically, semantically correct.

Water is breathable if there is enough oxygen in it, although the effect on
lung tissue over long periods of breathing a liquid has not been determined.
There are some therapeutic uses for techniques similar to this.

Anthony, my boy, your interpretation is incorrect. At Mach, the air has

force a solid object through Mach.

If it were compressed as much as it could be, it would be a liquid.

Yet another (almost) true but worthless statement and semantic game.

You are really good at playing semantic games.

Water is not breathable; only the oxygen (or other gases) contained in
it is.

You want to play semantic games?

I believe that the explanation to why all pilots have experienced this
is that the vortices of a tight turn descend much more slowly than the
vortices generated in straight flight. All of the experimental data
that I can find on vortex descent rate has been done on planes in
straight flight (or in wind tunnels which is the same thing). All of
the reasons espoused in this thread for vortices to have any downward
velocity can be used to explain why numbers should change when the
wings aren't level.

The other factor that has been ignored is how fast a steep turn
executes. A 2g coordinated turn at 100 knots will complete in 19
seconds. (That's close to a 45 degree bank angle in most small
planes.) The formula to play with different loading factors and
speeds is:
rate of turn= omega = g*sqrt(n^2-1)/V

Wrong yet again! Wow, you're batting 1000! Most of the gases in air
require cooling in addition to compression to liquefy.

Wrong again! Water is respirable at ambient pressures sufficiently high
to provide sufficient PO2 (that's partial pressure of oxygen, my boy).
Unfortunately, the problem is carbon dioxide solubility, which makes
water unusable. However, liquid respiration IS successfully done with
various fluorocarbon compounds.

Come now, Anthony. Try to get at least one fact straight.
