    That's frickin' awesome. I give my left nut for a ride like that.

          Wow... impressive... I didn't watch all of them, but the climb after takeoff

          And to think that the Cessna 150 rated for acrobatic manouvres at our club doesn't even have enough power for a vertical climb...

                If I remember my medical pilot classes correctly, it would be about 7-8 G's for a couple of seconds.

                  If they had the equipment, would you use it?

                      Well, euhm... I would certainly want to be a passenger with the plane in the hands of a competent pilot.

                      (and: more power in the planes we have would be great)


                      It does remind me of a couple of jokes that were made.
                      1. Imagine if the club had an F16.
                      "Request taxi for a VFR flight to Kortrijk" (ok, a bit of an inside joke, Kortrijk and Ostend are 49 km apart, VFR means using visual navigation)

                      2. Imagine going to the Airbus booth at the most recent Paris airshow.
                      "How much does such an A380 cost?"
                      "wel euhm...."
                      "Oh, I would have a Cessna C150 to sell, how much can you get off the price of the A380?"

                        Now that video is the definition of acceleration, not the kiddies version in the thread below

                          Technicaly that's not really true.
                          Turning is also acceleration.

                          An F18 can produce 8 Gs for much longer than a drag racer.
                          Of course an untrained passenger would not be awake long enough to appreciate the difference

                            That what I meant, the fighter can produce more G's than a person can handle...

                            I'll edit to clarify
