Absolutely. When I took my first Aerobatic Flight lesson the instructor had me doing simple maneuvers that were pulling 2.5 to 3 gs and I could hardly move my hand to the Mike Push to Talk button to answer her questions (most of which were "Are you still OK"). I knew it was taking a toll on me but I didn't realize how much it wore me out until I got home from the lesson, laid down to take a nap and woke up 4 hours latter. LOL!

My hat's off to those pilots cuz that stuff is not easy at all mentally and physically.

That just has to be a feeling like none other while still on the ground. It feels a little different once you're in the air, but that thrust on the ground must feel unreal.

Here's a fun calculation:

Each of the jet engines (of the two) on the F/A-18 Hornet produces 708,835.357 pound foot/square second [lb*ft/s^2].

I'm going to need more than a YSi...
