G forces
To answer your question. I did not black out, but my vision went down to tunnel vision for about 5 seconds, only on that one pull out of 5.8G. I could just make out the reading on the G meter as he pulled us through the pull up after dive. We did not have G suite on we just grunted. The pilot is also 60 years old so you are right, us old guys can still take it. He has taken up over 450 people for rides since 1997. In Florida they charge $2000 for that ride. This guy gives ride for free, you just pay for the fuel which cost me $165. Fuel burn is 160 gal/hr. The ride lasted about 1/2 hour.
