"But I figured that, while pulling four or five Gs, I was relatively safe. Hauling back on that stick for all I was worth and in a semi crouch, I was tightening my stomach muscles tightening all my muscles trying to hold my head up against the vicious, unrelenting force of magnified gravity. I no longer knew if I was in the same piece of sky as Johnson; the positive Gs were draining the blood from my head and I was sightless."

Hmmm.. maybe the 5.5g onset of blackout in AH is a bit generous?

It's probably quite realistic, as we don't pull high G's for real long periods, or at least I don't  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). I don't think we have the 2 seconds before blackout, though, i.e. when you yank the stick hard your brain has 2 seconds of oxygen to "spare" before you black out, in AH you just black out right away.
