HSC-25, Joboy has just thrown down the gauntlet.
I'm just impressed with the dedication it must take to be both a student AND work in every student control office, thereby being so tapped in to what's going on.

Thank god I am incapable of getting airsick.
Done every type of flying imaginable I take it?
Nope. But I've certainly gotten a taste of many of the types of flying that usually make people sick (aerobatics, simulators, NVG hops, IMC etc) and I've never been nauseated in the airplane. In fact, when IPs asked me in primary if I had airsickness problems, I answered in much the same way that people took my above post: a challenge. "Oh, really? Well we'll just see if we can change that today". On one or two flights they attempted to make me sick with multiple combo maneuvers and some heavy g pulls, long spins etc. I remember one IP who just ended up making himself passively sick. Hah. I don't think it's "bragging". It's just the way people are built. Some get seasick in the bathtub, and some have never experienced motion sickness in all their life. God knows I didn't need ANOTHER thing working against me in flight school. :icon_tong
Folks at Fort Rucker must have not clue of this puking you all talk about.

Haha.... About a year ago the Aeromed folks had a fun program of putting flight students who both had varying degrees of flight time in the back of a 60 and making them play FS 2000 to see if it was feasible to control UAVs that way. Then they put the Hawk through a series of differing flight envelopes to include NOE flight. A couple of my class mates where in the program. They all left their pride and their shame in barf bags on the flight line.
There was a great article about this test in an issue of Heli-Tac. I am glad I was not one of the test participants!
