For those pilots trying to bend the limitations or boldly going where no sane pilot has ventured before, yes.
Which limitation did they try to bend on QF72, please remind me
Clandestino.
What is your definition of immense show up when we're discussing the statistics of small numbers?

Can you produce figures that would support such statement ?

Once again, G load protection and alpha prot are two different things.
