I am very upset that flying guys have distorted understanding of the structures they are riding on and still believe in "taking an aircraft to its limit load as often as you wish on any flight".
What justification can you provide that states otherwise? I've never seen any cautionary note in any flight manual, regulatory directive, or engineering justification that says otherwise. Other than military, and a few civil aerobatic types, which have the necessary instrumentation, pilots don't even know what "g" they are pulling. Any fighter pilot will take great exception to your suggestion that they have a distorted understanding of limit load, that's where they operate all day, every day, every flight - if the opportunity presents itself.
