It has been suggested in some corners that the pilot may have blacked out during the high energy manoeuvre. Whilst this is pure speculation it does raise the question should display pilots have an upper age limit? Is it right a 51 yr old was performing a high g manoeuvre?
1. What makes one think that it is not "right a 51 yr old was performing a high g manoeuvre?" Is there any data that even suggests 51 yr olds are less g tolerant?

2. What makes one think the maneuver involved high g at all?
