And a mildly related comment:
Mark Farmer related the story of shooting formation from the back seat of an
F-16 until his g-suit ruptured and slammed his OM-4 against the cockpit
wall, smashing it. He completed the assignmen using a little non-Oly
digitial camera. Moral: have a backup body but I don't know where you keep
it in the back seat of a Viper.

Subject: [OM] G-forces, was Eyecup question (Toric Lenses)
9g, generally, although I once saw a HUD replay by one Capt Ralph
Viets in a 1v1 with a Tomcat that read 10g for a good second or so -
the g limiter must have been out of adjustment.

OM content: Combat Edge did not trial using OM1s under g, to the best
of my knowledge... ;-)
