I was later told that they didn’t have that many stories about me, but that flight where I nearly G-LOCed stuck out. So, they named me MACE, an acronym for Mach at Circle Entry. In other words, I had flown my jet so fast during a maneuver that I went supersonic, the speed of sound. I was flying much faster than I should have been, and the jet had so much energy that when I rolled and pulled, I hit nine Gs and then held it for a full 360-degree turn.
