Talk:Split S

Video Caption
The video does not show a Split S. A split S starts and ends in level flight, whereas Cpt. Stricklin rolls his aircraft while in a steep climb before pulling into a reversing loop. This maneuver is called a Reverse Half Cuban Eight. There are plenty of references on this, including Wikipedia's and the page at The Ejection Site specifically referring to Stricklin's maneuver, ejection and crash. I'm new and nervous about screwing something up on the page, so I'm pointing out the factual error and hoping an experienced editor fixes it. I'll watch the page for a bit and, if no one posts a problem with this, will try to make the correction myself (move the video and caption to the correct page).

Use of "g" for g-force
Is it me or is there an inconsistent use of the term g-force, i.e. G-force or "Gs"? This is all too prevalent in books and magazines, TV etc. Use of "G" is Universal Gravitational Constant not acceleration which is denoted "g". Maybe someone better at it can make any necessary edits. Roy Szweda (talk) 11:08, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
