Tweet? Were you the trainer or trainee? If trainee, what did you go on to
fly, C-130's? I used to work at an FBO with a military contract. My job
was to launch and recovery military and civilian aircraft with hand signals,
back in the early '80's. I can remember the tweet, because it was the
loudest of all the aircraft that I parked. It was probably the most fun job
I've ever done. I was more interested in the Harriers and the fighter jets
though.

Last weekend we had the huge Aerospace America airshow here in OKC. They've
been having it on my birthday for over 20 years now. The Blue Angels got
here a day early and buzzed the shingles off my roof! The local TV
newscaster was taken up in #7 by Lt. Otter. He first did around a positive
6 g out of a negative g and the newscaster didn't hook. The second time he
was more prepared and they did a 7.3 g. His 200 pound bodyweight felt like
around 1500 pounds, Maj. Seagraves said.

I thought you could do up to about 6 g's in the T-37?
