[AT] an Iowa snowstorm

I heard an ex military pilot on TV the other night talking about how they
illuded being hit when a MIG came in high from behind.  He said he pulled
into a 6G turn which made him go blind but not quite pass out.  He would
hold that until he thought he was about to pass out and pull out of the
turn.  He explained the rest of the maneuver but by that time I was so
amazed that I didn't hear the rest.

I don't guess a Cub can stand a 6 G turn?
