Liquid-breathing piloted craft

Let us assume at some time in the near future, medical science perfects a biologically safe liquid air solution. It can fill up the lungs of the adult human subject and they can breathe it potentially indefinitely, the same as normal room temperature air at sea level.

Would the use of this solution for spaceflight applications have any noticeable benefits in terms of spacecraft maneuverability? Would it increase the g forces that the pilot can safely sustain far enough to make a kind of hard scifi "space gunship" possible? How about aerobatic spacecraft capable of performing tight racing turns and other flashy stunts?
