    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    Killer! I love the way you can see the others in his visor.
    No one compares.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    Those pilots remind me a lot of myself- except I get dizzy easily, I get air sick, my eys are bad, and I can't find my butt with both hands and a flashlight

    If you watch the wingtips relative to the edge of the canopy, you can see them flex a little during the high-G manuvers!

    Years ago (when I was a teen) I got a ride in an AT-6 (WW-II fighter trainer) and did a "high performance" left turn (rolled 90 degrees to the left and pulling back on the stick). Of course, I had no G suit or training, but I began to feel PHYSICAL pain in mu gut at just over 4 G. I had visions of flesh tearing in my gut, so I backed off.

    I'll bet those FA-18 guys are pulling at least 8 to 10 G in those turns!
