Any of you boys seen an aircraft carrier around here.... Thanks to the USN we lost the airspace and had to RTB.

Middle of the screen, you can see it slightly.

9.5 G's flight out of Eglin AFB. Couldn't find the raw video so there is some Dos Gringos at the end. Trimmed the 1 hour video down to just the G pulling part. Forgot to mention, this was the 3rd time in the flight I pulled over 9. I flew and pulled 8.5, the pilot then asked "You want to pull 9 again?"

This clip is that one after he asked.

Panther that is awesome! How many rides have you been given so far?

Do you have anymore video of that?

Panther, you should post the clip of you pulling 9.5Gs!

I have went up on 4 rides. Ah, where did I put that video. If I can find it I'll trim it and upload it.

Was that an ACMI pod at :15 in the last video? Looked like one except I didn't see the usual antennae.

That 13 second burner video probably accounts for enough fuel to heat several homes for the winter.

After some quick napkin math, not quite that much...but it's not too drastic an exaggeration. That was probably ~ 40 gallons.
