Since it feeds all other flying pipelines in USAF and USN, one can argue that the requirement was valid for that aircraft.
The 95 percentile spec is pretty tough, and may be excessive.
Yep.
If anyone needs brain bleach after thinking about a nude 245 lb fighter pilot, sorry, but I didn't write the spec.
Uh, yeah, that's just wrong.
