We enjoyed ourselves to be honest, but I'm not sure there was a lot of adrenaline being released.
Not being a "Professional", it's the opposite for me.

I did a lot of Chipmunk aerobatics many years ago and since then a few sporadic sessions in Citabrias and gliders. Recently I did some flying in a friend's Christen Eagle II. It was the first time I had flown an aircraft with a full-inverted system. After a fairly vigorous flight, as we were shutting down, I noticed the needles on the G-meter indicating +7 and -3.

Me: "Ted, I didn't think we pulled that much G!"
Ted: "Adrenaline will do that to you."
