Good point, ARXW. But women have smaller brains than men, I have heard, so less mass to support under extreme 'g' Meatbox limits were +6/-2.5g, I seem to remember. But although we had no 'g' suits, nobody seemed to worry about the limits too much. Some of the older squadron hacks were wrinkled to hell. We had at least two on 208 which were regarded as unfit for anyhing but banner-towing and week-end jollies, for which they were kept fitted permanently with wing drop-tanks.
