*** Posted by Rapier *** [Best moment - Everytime I go fly. But I do prefer low mountain flying. I never had a nightmare in an F16, but maybe a couple of close calls. Nearmisses is something that all pilots experience sooner or later when they are training close combat. I've had a few myself. Most G's 9.5 for 15 secs. Its not something we ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier Thanks for answering. You shouldn't try to keep constant speed at max G. What you said 450-500 kts is the speed where the F16 can keep the speed constant. Remember the Ps curves of the F16 show that you have to keep the speed between 2 limits that are found on the top of the diagram. Study very carefully the
