I will tell you as an acro junkie, that is freaking awesome flying. And yes, it is one of the most physically demanding things that I have ever done - ever. Breathing hard - uh, yup. Sweating your butt off - affirm sir. And the stuff I have done is nothing compared to that. The Edge 540 or other similar craft (Sukhoi, CAP 232, Yak, ect) are really like an F1 car of the sky. I have some time in a Su-29 with a hopped up 400HP motor. Jeeeeessus is that thing awesome! Rolls so friggin' fast, it'll bang your head on the canopy. And the seating position is designed (like in all these birds) for a pilot to sustain high G loads. You are reclined in a pretty prone position with your knees up much higher than normal. Helps keep the blood in the noggin. I have not seen one of these events yet, but can only imagine the excitement. Awesome pilots...
