Last 'Man's Airplane'

Though fighting 'g' seems a little off thread, allowing that strength (more accurately physical conditioning) is required, there are those who rightly point out that folks had been pulling 'g's a long time before the advent of the 'g' suit. However, apart from the degree of protection afforded by such apparel under sustained 'g', the suits are particularly useful w.r.t. rapid onset of 'g'. As fighter design has evolved enabling increasingly rapid response to pitch input, anti-'g' devices have become integral.The folks who turn and burn today are still 'real men'(or women!).
