Bevo,
The F-15E had an "overload warning system" that varied the amount of g you could pull depending on the speed the aircraft was flying to avoid serious damage whilst rolling in the transonic regime. Most "over-Gs" where called at very low g-load, 3-4g whilst transonic and rolling, pretty annoying.
ASIP,
Despite aiming at 9g in an F15, most pulls by competent pilots would be in the mid to high 8s, we used to pull, wait till the jet howled and then back stick it. In a DBFM training sortie there would probably be 5 or 6 splits each with 3 or 4 pulls to between 7 and 9g and I never saw any bits fall off.
JC was in the back of a clean jet that chucked a bit of the stab off at M2.4 and I lost a Winder in a CB but that was just careless
