Does anyone have any idea if the jet is ok after that? He must have been pulling like a bastard using both arms, both legs and all his teeth! I know that the Typhoon will let you 'bend' it to avoid 'breaking' it, (ie. pull 1.25 times the G-limit in an emergency)

Glad the guy's ok. After his heart rate lowers (perhaps next year?) and the **** blows over, what an awesome bar story....

".....yeah, and then I recovered at 25ft at 400kts and 13g.....yup, planned it....."

Anyone remember when the Gnat was allowed down to 50ft?
