Question

Since the aeronautical engineering world allegedly knows b*gger-all about structural composites, perhaps its time for all those Harrier/AV8 and certain other military pilots to ease up on the aerobatics. I mean, pulling +9G/-3Gs they're more likely to have the wings fall off rather than getting them shot off by anti-aircraft fire.

Or aren't they?

Thank goodness aeroplanes aren't designed in bars over a few pints...
