Fighter pilots routinely pull more than this. Pilots at the red bull air race were pulling 13 G's at some points. Also you have to be careful doing zero G maneuvers in a plane like a cessna 172 with a gravity fed fuel system. No gravity=no fuel going to the engine=bad day. ;) Oops. My sources are renouned for being crap Sorry guys! CP

That was when I was doing spinning recovery lessons in an A160A robin. As for the weightless I fly alot of archers and they're fun to climb to about 4000'AGL, cut the engine and drop for 500 to 1000 feet. Im so fridget to do any more then that because I dont wanna be known as "the guy that broke a plane". :D Does anyone know if its very safe doing that by the way?
