My first F4 ride started very much like this, except the unwary "unsuspecting victim" was a deuce-and-half truck. When I got my vision back we were in an 80° climb at somewhere around 300 knots and the recording G meter had peaked at 4. (Clean airframe, no tanks, ordnance, pods, or pylons, just a single Sidewinder rail lugging an air combat range transponder, essentially a Sidewinder body minus warhead, motor, and fins, with an IR seeker and guidance system, inertial sensors and a range transponder. About as low a drag index and TOGW as you can get.)
Yeah, that bottle of booze had nothing to do with it!
