Ok need some votes on the baddest commercial jetliner in terms of thrust-to-weight (empty/full whatever). I've flown on a couple seven-fives that easily hit 1+ Gs on rotation/climbout. The flip side of the coin would be the A343.... that was a little hairy for the first minute or so. A JATO rig would have been nice.

There is no such airplane!

Affirmative........ hence the + after the 1. =)

We didn't pull 2 Gs, let's put it that way.

Nitpick all you want, I do it too. We're pilots, we're entitled.

How would you know how many G's you were pulling, if any, at the time?
Do you have a big watch?

Considering he said "commercial jetliner" .. where can I buy tickets on the SR71? ;)

travelocity.com, just put your arrival time before your departure time and whamo!
 
Lockheed Electra. I always remember backing away from the terminal (no slow tugs please, reverse the props!!), getting to the runway, and the captain hit it as we rounded onto the active. Talk about Haule A$$.
