Extremely focused! Don't know if adrenalin can help with G tolerance but apart from being very focused on the job in hand, my feelings swung rapidly between extreme anger - when I saw an A4 hit a landing craft and empathy - when the second guy banged out after I hit him and his winger with AIM9Ls.
Mind you, it was all over within seconds and then there was the joy of my first ever night deck landing, under a CB, in hissing rain with 90 secs of gas left in the tank.
Al least they kept the bar open for us!
