I can feel the G's by looking at that picture
It struggled to pull 2G because of the draggy wing at high angles of attack so relax. It would do it at any altitude up to 60+ though.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
In today’s episode of ‘fuck that for a game of soldiers’
Man-carrying under-wing pods.
“The exint pod was a design for a man-carrying, under-wing pod capable of being fitted to the underwing weapons pylons on military fast-jets and military helicopters. The concept was conceived by the former Acton, London based aircraft consultancy AVPRO U.K. Ltd as a method of inserting and extracting special forces operatives.
According to Flight International magazine, in the late 1990s the UK Defence Evaluation and Research Agency test fitted a prototype pod to a Bae Sea Harrier at its Boscombe Down research facility. It is not clear if the pod subsequently went into production and/or service, although some web sources cite it as being certified for use on Israeli AH-64 Apaches.”
Part of me would want to have a go though…

i think a lot of the people who might have done it got paramotors instead as they don't need you to find a large hill to throw yourself off, and modern ultralight and microlight plans look more like planes than a hangglider with a sidecar hung underneath

Bloody repeats. He did eject but not exactly "safely" as his eyes looked like Kermit the Frog's.

Ah, the B-58's fat, ugly cousin. Though I love it anyhow. Some of the other designs looked properly loco - one variant had the engines over/under at the inboard location. One moved the wing tip jets to the tail. Designers were crazy back then.
