How do you know that the airplane is doing the exact same thing both times. If you are looking for an answer, you need to control all the variables other then the one you are looking for. You may sit at the wing and experience X during the first flight and sit up front and experience Y during the second and conclude that sitting up front = more "Gs". What you don't know is that during the first flight the plane pitched up D degrees and the second time it pitched up D+n degrees.

That's the problem with Mythbusters.
