All flight surgeons "fly along" with the crew, some pilots will let the flight doc take the controlls for a while (mostly in fighter planes).

I think a real man would have done more than 6 G's. What happened to the floppy chicken.

[bbvargas]

I probably could have gone past 6 if I had remembered to do the strain maneuver... I was too focused on breathing. No floppy chicken for me!
