I apologize in advance for this posting of a truly gross yet side splitting video

Just finished eating? Don't watch. Eating soon? Don't watch. Does the vomit scene with Mr. Creosote in The Meaning of Life make you laugh? Watch!

[masraum]

Yeah, seen that lots of times. Poor girl.

A friends dad had this happen when he took someone up in his acrobatic plane. They where inverted when the passenger got sick...he said the canopy was full and he had to roll the plane back over.

Ah yes, the infamaous "zero-g" (vomit commit) manuever. A common request of skydivers to pilots. Used to love doing that (minus the puke of course) in the back of Twin-Otters, Caravans, & Sky Vans on the climb to altitude. A good pilot could keep you weightless for quite a while, with a smooth transition at the begining/end.

Here is a funnier one

Precisely why I will NOT fly with my retired fighter pilot buddy in his Van's RV7...aerobatic rated. I know he'd love making me heave.

That's one of my wife's favorites. She watches it over and over again.

[slodave]

Too funny....

Maybe she should have been wearing a Phiten titanium bracelet


I had a DE student throw up in car once.




He loaded up on BBQ, then one of his buddies took him for some Hot Laps in a Lambo Cup Car. Well, after riding in a Balls Out driven by a guy who could care less if he broke or crashed a factory cup car, well, his tummy wasn't up to driving. He was driving, and was going off line as I sat in the passenger yelling at him to get on line when I noticed him puking in his FULL FACE helmet

I puked in a cessna once. thankfully it didn't get all over me like that though.

When I was on active duty in an attack helicopter unit, we swapped out rides with the Air Force (Cobras for A-37s) and my boss (VERY head strong/Type A) triple dog dared the AF guy that he couldn't make him puke. The AF pilot tried several barrel rolls and a few inside loops, but my boss would say "See! You can't make me PUKE!". So the after the second or third outside loop along with an exteneded negative G, KP spewed like a hot beer! When the tough Army Captain got out of the aircaft, he had "cookie residue" all over his flight suit, accompanied with a AF Lieutenant gleaming like the cat that swallowed the bird....priceless!

The only thing worse than a headstrong Type A is a headstrong Type A in command.

My dad was taking aerobatic lessons when I was in high school and I asked if I could get a ride. He set up a time with his instructor and told him to make me puke... He tried everything, but to no avail. He threw me around for about an hour before I started to feel a little ill, but by that time, so did he and we decided to call it a session. I meant to go back for round 2, but never took him up on the offer. I still think about doing that again.

The hammerhead stall looks so smooth from the ground, but it feels like the plane wants to rip apart. I also messed him up in one maneuver, as my knee hit the stick and he could not get the plane to roll right. That was the only "Oh Sh-t" moment... I was trying to keep my knees as far to the sides as possible, but he really snapped the stick. The hand held radio that I *thought* was secured to the floor, was not and that was a surprise as it flew from the floor to the ceiling on the first roll. Good times.

I want to know who gave that kid a milkshake before putting her in the plane.

I was on a fishing boat with my pilot dad years ago. It was very rough and every other passenger was chumming the water. My dad and I ran around on the boat drinking beer & eating sandwiches. Every time we caught a fish we had at least two crew members to help us. The other passengers were begging to go back to port. The captain told them that we had paid for the day and he would have to refund our money. Several passengers volunteered to pay us the full price if we would agree to go back in. We ended up with several good fish for free.

I'm sure you have seen your fair share of "Richard Craniums" as an 11B, but I'd rather have a Type A/Headstrong CDR than a waffler.....nothing is more demoralizing that someone who is not decisive!

True That !

If you don't puke when you are learning to fly acro it means the airplane hasn't left the hangar.

I owned a Citabria for a few years-- I would shake hands with my instructor who would walk back to his office-- I would walk around to the back of the hangar and give it the old technicolor yawn. Walked back over to the fire base (I used to take acro lessons at a field that was the HQ for the Northern New Jersey Fire Service Aviation Unit-- a bunch of Ag-Cats) and lay down on the picnic table with the airport cat, usually for a couple hours, until I felt good enough to fly to my home airport.

You do NOT want to puke on your chutes. Big, big dollars to fix that.

That video is unfortunate-- the guy is doing a power-on stall, or one in a series. Both rear pax do not appear to be wearing their lap belts. . . and the poor girl is obviously sick, and yet Jonny Epaulets is still doing stalls?

I learned this early on with the Citabria-- even though you, Mr. Iron Ballz Aviator, can handle doing a few chandelles or whatever, the passengers can't, and nothing is more of a deterrent to people wanting to fly with you ever again than continuing to jink around the sky when you should be making straight- and level back to your home field. It's not cool or macho making people sick to their stomachs.

Kershner calls it "NSMFA" or "Not So Much Fun Anymore"-- you aren't blowing chunks just yet, but you suddenly don't have interest in another climb to altitude-- you learn to recognize that point and head for home-- this is often the difference between throwing up in the plane and on the ground.
