I got to fly back-seat in an F-16 once for 53 minutes and managed to handle a 9.2 G turn and I'm not a pilot or a drone. The first 10 minutes of the flight were amazing, the next 30 were incredible, the next 10 were meh, and the last 3 - well let's just say I was happy to be back on the ground and leave it at that.

Neat. 9.2 G for how long?

Usually requires massive abs and leg muscle involvement to keep from blacking out.

[ Too tall to fit in any fighter aircraft :*(, this will have to do: http://is.gd/Tu3E4e ]

How did you get to do that? That must have been an amazing experience.
