What do you mean? The immense G of the Tutor's acceleration is enough to get anyone excited... ;)


Sorry, my tongue was firmly in my cheek...

Getting confused with the Jaguar I think (and many thanks to whoever designed the G-suit...). Anyway, I knew about G when that was over... ;)

My only expierence in non motorized flying was at the age of 13 with my dad in a Piper SuperCub and it was unintentional I assure you. We did have safe but bumpy landing in front of a herd of very surprised cows.


Thankfully, my only experience was unmotorised flying in a powered aircraft was as I landed one day after an GH/aerobatic trip, and about 10 seconds down the runway the engine stopped. The moral of the story - turn the fuel pump on during practice PFL's... Slapped wrists all round (a mutual b****cking - I was flying with the boss at the time...)
