Lyman, this one G thing confuses me. One G is what you get when your NOT falling, ie what the bus uses to fly level I've read, and what you'd feel on your bum. I'd have thought that falling at their rate you would "weigh" a fair bit less all the way down. Not suggesting that would matter in all the confusion, but physics interests me.
No need to go in a aircraft for experiment sensations of vertical displacement
Try an elevator (if never experienced !) and you will understand .. and it's cheapest than an aircraft experience
