The full recreation of incident is up now here. She did a great job. My only debrief point would have been to declare the emergency earlier, but Tower was looking out for her anyway.

And as always, the comments continue to give us gold. "Well done! She's so lucky she didn't have the sun in her eyes!"

Reminds me of an aeromedical study I was "voluntold" for when I was in the pool at NASC back in '06. I was in a control group for a larger airsickness study. I was put in a spinny chair, blindfolded, and spun while I held my head in various positions to see if I would get nauseous (never did). It was a little weird, but pretty easy duty. The best part was it only took about an hour, and I was cleared off for the day after.

I did not get a bullet in my FITREP... maybe that's why I never made skipper. :eek: ;)

When I was a senior in high school they filmed scenes for the movie Rollercoaster at the local Ocean View Amusement Park in Norfolk. It was night scenes, so they filmed from sunset to sunrise each day. Friend of mine and I got jobs as extras in the movie.

They needed a shot with the tilt-a-whirl in the background, and I volunteered to ride. Was not thinking that it would take multiple takes, they'd have to keep it running the entire time, and they'd drop it down and raise for each shot. Whoo boy...
